US Patent 10163264 Method and apparatus for multiple mode interface

Each of a world space, a sphere space, and a display space are adapted to accept at least one entity therein, the entity being a virtual reality entity or an augmented reality entity. For world space, translation by a viewer substantially corresponds with translation with respect to world space, and rotation by the viewer substantially corresponds with rotation with respect to world space. For sphere space, translation by the viewer corresponds with substantially zero translation with respect to sphere space, and rotation by the viewer substantially corresponds with rotation with respect to sphere space. For display space, translation by the viewer corresponds with substantially zero translation with respect to display space, and rotation by the viewer corresponds with substantially zero rotation with respect to display space. Exceptions for translating, rotating, and/or resizing any of world space, sphere space, and display space may be invoked.
