Abstract

La présente invention concerne un écran d'affichage (201) affichant l'image d'un ensemble de surfaces, par exemple un polyèdre (204), chacune des surfaces décrivant une option de menu. Un dispositif de commande à distance émet un signal d'entrée à la télévision (201), qui répond au signal d'entrée par la manipulation de l'orientation des surfaces, et expose les diverses options de menu disponibles pour l'utilisateur. Celui-ci peut alors cliquer sur la face désirée du polyèdre correspondant à l'option désirée. Dans un mode de réalisation, le dispositif de commande à distance comprend des organes de détection servant à détecter le mouvement et/ou la position du dispositif de commande à distance. Le polyèdre se déplace suivant le mouvement du dispositif de commande à distance.
