1. A visual feedback system, comprising:
- a touch input screen;
a proximity sensing device that is coupled to the touch input screen, the proximity sensing device operable to determine a position of an input member relative to the touch input screen when the input member is proximate to the touch input screen but prior to the contact of the input member and the touch input screen; and
a visual feedback engine that is coupled to the touch input screen and the proximity sensing device, the visual feedback engine operable to receive the position of the input member from the proximity sensing device and provide a visual feedback for data displayed on the touch input screen that corresponds to the position of the input member relative to the touch input screen.

Abstract
A visual feedback system includes a touch input screen. A proximity sensing device is coupled to the touch input screen and operable to determine a position of an input member relative to the touch input screen when the input member is proximate to the touch input screen but prior to the contact of the input member and the touch input screen. A visual feedback engine is coupled to the touch input screen and the proximity sensing device and is operable to receive the position of the input member from the proximity sensing device and provide a visual feedback for data displayed on the touch input screen that corresponds to the position of the input member relative to the touch input screen.
