Abstract:
One variation of a method for manipulating virtual objects within a virtual environment includes: determining a first position of a touch sensor within real space; based on the first position of the touch sensor within real space, bounding a virtual surface of a virtual object within the virtual environment tractable through inputs across the touch sensor; generating a first force vector comprising a magnitude related to a force magnitude of a first input on the touch sensor surface and a direction related to an orientation of the touch sensor within real space; locating an origin of the first force vector within the virtual environment based on a first location of the first input on the touch sensor surface and the first position of the touch sensor within real space; and manipulating the virtual surface of the virtual object within the virtual environment according to the first force vector.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for manipulating virtual objects within a virtual environment comprising:\n at a first time, determining a first position of a touch sensor within a real space, the touch sensor comprising a touch sensor surface; based on the first position of the touch sensor within the real space at the first time, bounding a virtual surface of a virtual object within the virtual environment tractable through inputs across an area of the touch sensor surface; generating a first force vector comprising a magnitude related to a force magnitude of a first input on the touch sensor surface and a direction related to an orientation of the touch sensor within the real space at the first time; and manipulating the virtual surface of the virtual object within the virtual environment according to the first force vector.
