1. A method for generating a presentation of a region of interest in an original image for display on a display screen, comprising:
- applying a lens to a border region of the region of interest in the original image by displacing the border region onto the lens and projecting the displacing onto a plane in a uniform direction aligned with a viewpoint, wherein at least one of the lens and the viewpoint remain constant while transitioning between first and second locations for the region of interest in the original image.

Abstract
An improved method for display of a transitional region of interest while transitioning between a first region of interest and a second region of interest within visual information on a display screen of a computer. The method comprising the steps of applying a transitional transformation to the visual information and displaying the transitional transformed visual information on the display screen. The transitional transformation requiring a reduced calculation for transforming the visual information in the transitional region.

9. A system for displaying a region of interest while transitioning between first and second locations for the region of interest within visual information on a display screen, comprising:
-
a processor coupled to memory and the display screen; and
, modules within the memory and executed by the processor, the modules including;
a module for applying a transformation to a border region of the region of interest in the visual information to improve visual detail in the border region of the region of interest by;
establishing a lens surface for the border region having a lens surface shape; and
, generating a presentation by overlaying the visual information on the lens surface and projecting the lens surface with the visual information onto a plane in a uniform direction aligned with a viewpoint, wherein at least one of the lens surface shape and the viewpoint remain constant during the transitioning between the first and second locations; and
,a module for displaying the presentation on the display screen. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 38)
