ABSTRACT:
Controlling successive frames of video data displays the movement of an object between points on the display along natural or `intelligent` paths around obstacles, by establishing a locus of data points around each obstacle along which displayed movement of the object may proceed under conditions of the direct trajectory between points intersecting the locus of data points. `Freeway` paths are provided between remote sectors of the display to expedite `natural` movements over substantial distances around obstacles in a second embodiment.
