Abstract
A method of enabling a user of a computing device to provide input via a viewport displayed on a display monitor. The viewport is displayed over a first region of the graphic user interface (GUI), and a second region of the GUI is displayed within the viewport. When the user positions the system pointing indicium at the first region of the graphic user interface, the system pointing indicium is placed into the second GUI region, while a separate viewpoint pointing indicium is displayed over the viewport. When a user provides an input, the input is applied at the current position coordinates of the system pointing indicium.
