Summary
The invention related to a method of allowing a user to interact with a 3D geoscience object displayed on a computer display. The user identifies a feature of interest in the object and is then able to manipulate the image using two or more control points in 3D space, e.g. to rotate, translate or zoom in on the image of the feature on the display. The hearing officer found that the invention was excluded as a program for a computer as such and the presentation of information as such and therefore refused the application.
