APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR EXPLORING GRAPHICAL OBJECTS FOR USERS

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for exploring a graphical object (2) on a screen (3) of a graphics interface (4) through the movement of a pointing device (5A) for a user. Particularly, the apparatus (1) comprises an electronic device (6) having a buffer (7) for storage of information to be presented to said user; the pointing device (5A) is operatively associated to said electronic device (6) to generate an input signal for addressing said buffer (7) and is characterized in that the pointing device (5A) can define a one-to-one correspondence between the position of the pointing device (5A) and the position of at least one portion of said graphical object (2) for a given movement of the pointing device (5A) controlled by said user and in that it comprises programmed means (11) operating in said electronic device (6) for producing a signal perceptible by said user, as a function of said correspondence between the position of the pointing device (5A) and the position of at least one portion of said graphical object (2).
