Abstract
A user interface provides, in a fixed screen display, for both decoupling head and body turning and for integrating them without the need for specialized equipment. Using successive synchronized viewport and contained display image movement steps, the present invention first cues the user that their body is facing in the same direction as their head. Then, by simulating the head-turn/body-turn process that humans follow when looking around for something, the invention cues the user to understand that when they look around, they are turning first their head and then their body.
