  • Graphical user interface for specifying 3D position
    Patent number: 11036350
    Abstract: A graphical user interface (GUI) can specify a three-dimensional position. The GUI can include a puck that is user-positionable in two dimensions. A distance between the puck and a reference point on the graphical user interface can determine a radius of the three-dimensional position. An azimuthal orientation of the puck with respect to the reference point can determine an azimuthal angle of the three-dimensional position. The GUI can include an elevation controller, separate from the puck, to specify an elevation of the three-dimensional position. The elevation controller can specify an elevation angle, which can determine a position along the surface of a virtual sphere as a function of elevation angle. In addition, or alternatively, the elevation controller can specify an elevation height, which can determine a position along a line, such as directly upward or downward, as a function of elevation height.
