Claim:
1. A computer interface system comprising: a user interface screen configured to display visual content; an input system configured to detect a presence of an input object within a non-zero threshold distance along a normal axis of the user interface screen; a visual content display engine configured to magnify the portion of the visual content by superimposing a portion of a scaled copy of the visual content onto the visual content, the scaled copy of the visual content being magnified by a scale factor greater than one relative to the visual content; and a graphical controller configured to: continuously superimpose a single contiguous portion of the scaled copy of the visual content onto the visual content, the single contiguous portion beginning at the fixed position on the user interface screen and continuing along a path on the user interface screen such that the single contiguous portion increases in size as it extends from the fixed position to a current position in response to contiguous movement of the input object along the path on the user interface screen from the fixed position to the current position within the threshold distance.
