Abstract: A method. The method includes receiving user input data from a user interface system. The user input data includes user gesture data, wherein the user gesture data is associated with one or more detected user gestures. The method also includes manipulating one or more graphical flight path elements based at least upon received user gesture data. The method further includes performing at least one flight path modification operation based at least upon one or more factors and the received user gesture data. The method additionally includes outputting updated graphical data to the user interface system, wherein the updated graphical data includes updated graphical flight path element data and updated graphical flight path data.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method for managing a user interface. The method may include the step of detecting a gaze of a user within a display. The method also includes the step of correlating the gaze of the user to an item displayed on the display. A further step of the method entails receiving an input from the user related to the item.
