Abstract

A method and apparatus for providing a click surface (320 or 322) in a graphical environment, such as a graphical user interface (300), implemented on a host computer (18) for use with a force feedback interface device (13). A displayed cursor (306) is controlled by a user-moveable user object (12), such as a mouse (22), of the interface device. A click surface is displayed with an associated graphical object (302), such as a graphical button or an edge of a window, icon, or other object. When the click surface is contacted by the cursor, a force is output opposing movement of the user object in a direction into the click surface and into the graphical object. When the user object has moved to or past a trigger position past the contact with the click surface, a command gesture signal is provided to the host computer indicating that the graphical object has been selected as if a physical input device on the user object, such as a button (15), has been activated by the user. Preferably, the host computer displays the graphical environment including the click surface and cursor, while a microprocessor (200) local to the interface device controls the force output of the click surface in parallel with the host display (20).
