System and method for displaying search results in a three-dimensional virtual environment

摘要

A system and method for presenting search and/or data query results within a virtual three-dimensional environment. A data container containing a parameter representing at least a portion of the content derived from a database search result may be rendered within the environment, thereby producing a two dimensional prospective view from a view point within the environment. The viewpoint may be moved along a selected or predefined path and the data container's parameters may be updated in relation to the position of the viewpoint.
