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.
