Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for simultaneous view and point navigation. In a first embodiment of the invention, a single virtual environment interaction method can include maintaining first and second independent views corresponding to respectively different geometric planes in a single virtual environment, such as a flight simulator, first-person or third-person shooter game or avatar-driven adventure game. The method also can include independently changing the first view responsive to a first input directive from a first input device while concurrently changing the second view responsive to a second input directive from a second input device. Thereafter, the method further can include modifying a point of interest in one of the views responsive to a third input directive from one of the first and second input devices. Optionally, the devices can include an under-mouse sensor and trackpoint included as part of a dual-pointer mouse.
