Three-Dimensional User Interface For Controlling A Virtual Reality Graphics System By Function Selection
First Claim
1. A graphical user interface for controlling a virtual reality (VR) graphics system by means of interactions with a function selection system that provides at least two functions, the VR graphics system having a projection device for visualizing a virtual three-dimensional scene and the interactions with the VR graphics system being effected using at least one interaction unit which, in interaction with a position detection sensor system for detecting a respective physical spatial position and/or orientation of the interaction unit, is used to provide position data in the VR graphics system, characterized by an interaction element which is functionally and visually formed from at least two subelements which respectively provide said function selection, the at least two subelements being designed such that they can be moved in a virtual three-dimensional manner relative to one another by means of a physical three-dimensional movement of the interaction unit, and said function being selected by means of the at least two subelements being moved in a virtual three-dimensional manner relative to one another.

Abstract
The invention relates to a graphical user interface for controlling a virtual reality (VR) graphics system by means of interactions with a function selection that provides at least two functions, whereby the VR graphics system has a projection device for visualizing a virtual three-dimensional scene, and interactions with the VR graphics system ensue by using at least one interaction unit. Said interaction unit, while interacting with a sensor system for detecting a respective physical-spatial position and/or orientation of the interaction unit, serves to generate and transfer position data inside and/or to the VR graphics system. The inventive graphical user interface comprises, in particular, an interaction element, which is functionally and visually formed from at least two partial elements that each provide a mentioned function selection. These at least two partial elements are provided so that they can move relative to one another in a virtual-spatial manner by means of physical-spatial movement of the interaction unit, and a function selection ensues by means of the ensuing virtual-spatial movement of the at least two partial elements relative to one another.
