Abstract

Systems and methods interacting with tabletop models using a handheld device are provided herein. A display system includes a tabletop model, including a horizontal display that is configured to display a two-dimensional digital map and a three-dimensional physical model that is configured to overlay the two-dimensional digital map. The display system includes a mobile device including a touchscreen display. The display system transforms a movement on the touchscreen display to a movement of a cursor on the two-dimensional digital map.
