Advanced touch control of interactive immersive imaging applications via finger angle using a high dimensional touchpad (HDTP) touch user interface
First Claim
1. A method for controlling an interactive immersive imaging application, the method comprising:
- configuring a user interface touch sensor to be responsive to at least one angle of contact with at least one finger, the finger belonging to a human user of a computing device and the user interface touch sensor in communication with an operating system of the computing device;
measuring at least one change in at least one angle of the position of the finger with respect to the surface of the touch sensor to produce measured data;
performing real-time calculations on the measured data to produce a measured-angle value; and
using the measured-angle value to control the value of at least one user interface parameter of an interactive immersive imaging application;
wherein at least one aspect of the interactive immersive imaging application changes responsive to the angle of the position of the finger with respect to the surface of the touch sensor.

Abstract
High Dimensional Touchpad (HDTP) or other user interface technology, implemented in touch screens used on computers, smartphones, or other mobile devices provides advanced touch control a variety of interactive immersive imaging applications using one or more of a user'"'"'s finger position or movement in one or more of the roll angle, pitch angle, yaw angle, and downward pressure directions. Implementations also can be responsive to a user'"'"'s finger position or movement in the left-right and forward-backward directions. Implementations can also use HDTP or other user interface technology implemented on the back of a mouse. Also, an interactive immersive imaging application can employ a connection over the internet or other network.
