Abstract

A display device comprises a display, an input and a controller. The display displays a three-dimensional image, a vector cursor and a pointing image extending in a direction of movement of the vector cursor. The controller generates a display signal to display the three-dimensional image, vector cursor and pointing image. The controller recognizes the three-dimensional image crossing to the pointing image in response to the pointing signal from the input.
