Facilitating search for items in 3D simulations

摘要

A method for facilitating a search for an object in a three-dimensional simulation can be provided. The method can include receiving from a user at least one search parameter corresponding to an object and executing a search for the object based on the at least one search parameter. The method can further include generating a list of search results, wherein each search result corresponds to an object in the three-dimensional simulation and receiving from the user a selection corresponding to a first object in the list of search results. The method can further include transporting an avatar of the user to a location of the first object and displaying a visual indicator of a position of the first object in the three-dimensional simulation, wherein the visual indicator is distinct from the first object and wherein the visual indicator is not viewed by other users.

1. A method for facilitating a search for an object in a three-dimensional simulation, comprising:
receiving from a user at least one search parameter corresponding to an object rendered in the three-dimensional simulation including three-dimensional graphical representations of places, objects and humanoids; executing a search for the object based on the at least one search parameter; generating a list of search results responsive to executing the search for the object, wherein each search result corresponds to an object in the three-dimensional simulation; receiving from the user a selection corresponding to a first object in the list of search results; transporting an avatar of the user to a location of the first object in the three-dimensional simulation; and displaying a visual indicator of a position of the first object in the three-dimensional simulation, wherein the visual indicator is distinct from the first object and wherein the visual indicator is not viewed by other users participating in the three-dimensional simulation.
