Abstract: A method of selecting and displaying an item on a display screen uses a pointing and selecting device including a control button. Displayed, on the screen, are (i) a multifaceted three dimensional object having a fixed center and having at least one side including at least a representative window of a first item to select and display, and (ii) a fixed pointer. The representative window includes a link to the item to be selected and displayed. The three dimensional object is rotated on the screen about the fixed center with respect to three free orthogonal axes, by the manipulation of the pointing device. The representative window of the item to be selected and displayed is superimposed with the displayed pointer at the center of the three dimensional object, for the selection and display on the display screen of the item to be selected and displayed by pushing the control button of the pointing device.
