1. A motion controlled handheld device comprising:

  • a display having a viewable surface and operable to generate an image;

    a motion detection module operable to detect motion of the device within three dimensions and to identify components of the motion in relation to the viewable surface, the components comprising a first component parallel to the viewable surface, a second component parallel to the viewable surface and perpendicular to the first component, and a third component perpendicular to the viewable surface;

    a motion processing module operable to compare the components, to isolate a preferred one of the components based on the comparison, and to adjust a magnitude of the preferred component by an augmentation factor; and

    a motion response module operable to modify the image based on the augmented preferred component.
