Description

FIG. 1 is a front view of the computer generated three-dimensional sphere and projection lines to adjacent image for a portion of a display screen; and,

FIG. 2 is a front view of the computer generated three-dimensional sphere and projection lines to adjacent image for a portion of a display screen, where the three-dimensional computer generated sphere is partially rotated as compared to the position of the three-dimensional computer generated sphere in FIG. 1.

Please note that the broken line drawing of a display screen in FIGS. 1 and 2 is for illustrative purposes only, and forms no part of the claimed design. The broken line drawing of the spherical grid lines on the sphere are for illustrative purposes, and form no part of the claimed design. The two dash-dot-dash lines projecting from the selected rectangular region on the surface of the sphere to the image adjacent to the sphere are for illustrative purposes, and form no part of the claimed design. The broken line drawings of the rectangular window area surrounding the computer generated three-dimensional sphere and adjacent image, of the first and second tabs on the edge of the rectangular window area surrounding the computer generated three-dimensional sphere and adjacent image, and of the triangular indicator extending below the first tab, are for illustrative purposes, and form no part of the claimed design. The broken line text of “viewed” and “total views” in the first and second tabs, respectively, is for illustrative purposes only, and forms no part of the claimed design. The shading of the sphere in FIGS. 1 and 2 is provided merely to illustrate the spherical contour of the sphere.
