Abstract
The present invention is directed to providing an improved user interface for enhancing the manner by which information is entered into a database and later accessed from the database. Exemplary embodiments are directed to the use of an overlay, in the form of a flat digital display, that can be moved about a surface. The position of the movable display is tracked, so that digital content presented on the display is related to a particular position of the display over the document. This capability can be exploited to, for example, permit a much larger image to be viewed using a relatively small, portable display that can be navigated about the larger image. The larger image can optionally include information that, when accessed on the movable display, can be used to link to other information and/or can be used to access executable3 code for performing a desired function.
