The position of at least one object on the touch-sensitive display based upon the vehicle motion. User touches on the touch-sensitive display may be detected, and tactile feedback may be provided to the user via a glove. In a further embodiment, an imminent input to the touch-sensitive display may be detected, and the target point for the imminent input may be determined. The display may be zoomed around the target point to expand at least a portion of a targeted object. The vehicle may be an aircraft, and the targeted object may be a virtual flight instrument. The target point may also be displayed on the touch-sensitive display.
