  • MULTI-LAYERED DISPLAY OF A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE
    Publication number: 20090128498
    Abstract: A graphical user interface for a display uses 3-D sensing in order to manipulate various functions. In particular, instead of a menu being constantly on the display screen occupying space, when the finger of a user is at a certain distance from the screen, the menu then appears. By moving his/her finger in the X and/or Y direction, the user can make a selection from the displayed menu options. This method and GUI does not discriminate a certain part of the screen with less accessibility. Rather, the menu appears immediately in reaction to the user action, and the menu appears at the point of user input.
