METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYING MUSICAL DATA IN A THREE DIMENSIONAL ENVIRONMENT
摘要
A method for displaying musical data in three dimensions includes displaying musical data along a spatial path that does not lie within the image plane of a display. Graphical symbols corresponding to the musical data may be displayed on graphical surfaces aligned with the spatial path. The graphical surfaces form, in some embodiments, a tunnel through which the time axis associated with the musical data runs. The musical data may be manipulated to provide the viewer with the appearance of motion along the time axis associated with the musical data. In some embodiments, the viewer is represented by a virtual camera in the three-dimensional environment and the virtual camera is "moved" to provide the appearance of motion. A corresponding apparatus is also discussed.
