RADIAL MENU DISPLAY SYSTEMS AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- displaying, by a computing system, a graphical representation of a two-dimensional radial menu in a graphical user interface generated by said computing system;
detecting, by said computing system, user input associated with said graphical representation of said two-dimensional radial menu in said graphical user interface; and
transforming, by said computing system, said graphical representation of said two-dimensional radial menu into a graphical representation of a three-dimensional radial menu in said graphical user interface in response to said user input.

Abstract
In certain embodiments, a graphical representation of a two-dimensional radial menu is displayed in a graphical user interface. The graphical representation of the two-dimensional radial menu is transformed into a graphical representation of a three-dimensional radial menu in the graphical user interface. In certain embodiments, the displaying comprises utilizing data representative of a three-dimensional radial menu model to render the graphical representation of the two-dimensional radial menu, based on a first viewpoint, in the graphical user interface, and the transforming comprises utilizing the data representative of the three-dimensional radial menu model to render the graphical representation of the three-dimensional radial menu, based on a second viewpoint, in the graphical user interface. In certain embodiments, the transforming comprises repositioning a viewpoint associated with the graphical representation of the two-dimensional radial menu to produce the graphical representation of the three-dimensional radial menu.
