Abstract:
1. A method for establishing an angle of view for an observer with respect to an object to be displayed the method comprising the following steps: receiving mechanical-tactile or indirect input from the observer via a circular, substantially level, input field associated with a physical input device, the mechanical-tactile or indirect input defining movements within a first defined region of the circular input field, dynamically establishing an angle of view of a front side of the object based on the received mechanical-tactile or indirect input by: displaying the front part of the object on an output mechanism according to the established angle of view, continuously detecting the mechanical-tactile or indirect input defining movements within the first defined region of the circular input field, automatically updating the established angle of view of the front part of the object, and automatically updating the display of the front part of the object according to the automatically updated angle of view, detecting a movement from the first defined region of the circular input field into a transition region of the of the circular input field located around an edge of a circle defined by the circular input field, the transition movement causing an automatic transition from displaying the front part of the object to displaying a rear part of the object opposite the front part of the object, detecting a movement from the transition region of the circular input field back into the first defined region of the of the circular input field, and after detecting the movement back into the first defined region of the of the circular input field, dynamically establishing an angle of view of the rear part of the object and automatically updating the display of the rear part of the object based on the received mechanical-tactile or indirect input defining movements within the first defined region of the circular input field.
