1. A computer interface system comprising:
- a user interface screen configured to display visual content;
an input system configured to detect a presence of an input object within a threshold distance along a normal axis of the user interface screen; and
a graphical controller configured to magnify a portion of the visual content that is located at an approximate location of a base of the normal axis on the user interface screen.

14. A method for providing inputs to a computer system, the method comprising:
-
displaying visual content on a user interface screen; detecting a presence of an input object within a threshold distance of the user interface screen along a normal axis of the user interface screen; magnifying a portion of the visual content at a location that is substantially centered at a base of the normal axis; detecting interaction of the input object with the magnified portion of the visual content; and initiating a device input based on the interaction of the input object with the magnified portion of the visual content. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A computer interface system comprising:
-
means for displaying visual content; means for detecting a presence of an input object within a threshold distance along a normal axis of the means for displaying the visual content; means for concurrently maintaining data corresponding to the visual content and a scaled copy of the visual content, the scaled copy of the visual content having a scale factor relative to the visual content that is greater than one; and means for superimposing a portion of the scaled copy of the visual content onto the visual content to magnify a respective portion of the visual content at a base of the normal axis in response to the detected presence of the input objects. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
