Abstract

A cursor control system for computer displays moves a cursor unambiguously in three dimensions using a two dimensional input device. The plane of movement of the two dimensional device is divided into logical regions which correspond to movement along a three dimensional axis. Movement of the two dimensional device into one of these regions causes the cursor to move along the corresponding axis of the display.
