Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- displaying a first image on a display;
correlating at least a portion of the first image to at least a portion of a surface, the surface including one or more sensors operable to detect a proximity of one or more fingers of a user to the surface;
detecting the proximity of the one or more fingers of the user to the surface, the proximity of the one or more fingers being detected without the one or more fingers touching the surface; and
displaying a second image representative of the one or more fingers on the display in correlation with the at least a portion of the first image.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes displaying a first image on a display. The method further includes correlating at least a portion of the first image to at least a portion of a surface. The surface includes one or more sensors operable to detect a proximity of one or more fingers of a user to the surface. The method further includes detecting the proximity of the one or more fingers of the user to the surface. The proximity of the one or more fingers being detected without the one or more fingers touching the surface. The method further includes displaying a second image representative of the one or more fingers on the display in correlation with the at least a portion of the first image.

9. One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying logic that is configured when executed to:
-
generate, for display, a first image; correlate at least a portion of the first image to at least a portion of a surface that includes one or more sensors operable to detect a proximity of one or more fingers of a user to the surface; receive an indication of the detected proximity of the one or more fingers of the user to the surface, the proximity of the one or more fingers being detected without the one or more fingers touching the surface; and generate, for display, a second image representative of the one or more fingers in correlation with the at least a portion of the first image. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system, comprising:
-
a surface comprising one or more sensors operable to detect a proximity of one or more fingers of a user to the surface, the proximity of the one or more fingers being detected without the one or more fingers touching the surface; and one or more processors operable to; generate, for display, a first image; correlate at least a portion of the first image to at least a portion of the surface; receive an indication of the detected proximity of the one or more fingers; and generate, for display, a second image representative of the one or more fingers in correlation with the at least a portion of the first image. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
