1. A method comprising
receiving image data characterizing a viewed object, the image data acquired via an image sensor of a visual inspection system;
providing the image data via a display of the visual inspection system;
receiving a first directional movement input via a directional input device of the visual inspection system;
applying a first set of actuator drive signals to a plurality of actuators of the visual inspection system, causing the image sensor to move in a first real direction and causing points on the viewed object to move in a first visual direction on the display;
applying a coordinate transformation to the image data to generate transformed image data;
displaying the transformed image data on the display;
receiving a second directional movement input via the directional input device;
applying a second set of actuator drive signals to the plurality of actuators of the visual inspection system, causing the image sensor to move in a second real direction and causing points on the viewed object to move in a second visual direction on the display.
