More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a computer implemented UAV control method comprising, in a target selection mode, the steps of displaying on a touch sensitive display a 3D-view of an environment of a UAV; Overlaying a moveable target indicating symbol to the 3D-view of the environment, wherein the target indicating symbol is moveable in the 3D-view by a touch input; While moving the target indicating symbol, continuously determining a location of the target indicating symbol in the 3D-view and dynamically changing the appearance of the target indicating symbol such that it creates the impression of being displayed in an orientation matching the orientation of a face over which the target indicating symbol is located wherein the orientation of the respective face is derived from stored 3D-data or from the 3D-view; And selecting a target based on the location of the target indicating symbol.
