               Application 10/001,940                                                                       
           1                storing a color value for each location in the two-dimensional                  
           2          display device; and storing object identification data for each of the                
           3          specified locations, wherein the object identification data uniquely                  
           4          identifies one of the graphical objects at the at least one location.                 
           5          33.   A system for displaying and interacting with graphic objects,                   
           6          the system comprising:                                                                
           7                a display device comprising a plurality of pixels arranged in a                 
           8          two-dimensional array, wherein graphical objects may be associated                    
           9          with any of the plurality of pixels;                                                  
          10                a frame buffer having a plurality of entries where each entry is                
          11          associated with one of the plurality of pixels;                                       
          12                object identification information corresponding to one of the                   
          13          graphical objects, the object identification information being stored in              
          14          a frame buffer.                                                                       
          15          37. A graphical user interface comprising:                                            
          16                a rendered image of at least one three-dimensional graphical                    
          17          object, wherein the graphical object uses a number of pixels on a                     
          18          display device, and wherein there is stored a respective color value for              
          19          each pixel in the display device; and                                                 
          20                object identification data stored with each pixel covered by the                
          21          rendered image, wherein the object identification data uniquely                       
          22          identifies the graphical object located at the pixel.                                 


                                                     4
