Abstract

A control device for manipulating multi-dimensional objects on a screen comprises - a selection module (110) for activating in a single step a defined manipulation function with preset settings and disabling all other degrees of freedom for manipulating the object on the screen, - a manipulation operation module (130) for executing the activated viewing function, and - a multi-dimensional input device control module (140) for commanding a manipulation of an object once the activated viewing function is executed.
