<p>High-dimensional descriptions of data or 'manifolds' (40, 62), such as the plurality of parameters that characterize sound, are mapped into two or three dimensions. A 'manifold interface' provides the translation to sound signal generation (62) or to other multidimensional data bases. The manifold interface technology translates movements (30) performed in the three-dimensional space into movements in a high-dimensional parameter space. A three-dimensional virtuality reality environment (20) captures movement (30) of an object. The system maps (12) the location of the object to a location in a multidimensional phase space (14). The phase space (14) represents all the permissible combinations of parameter values of an algorithm where trajectories (30) of input gestures are encoded. For display, the systems reduces (12) the dimension of the phase space (56) to three dimensions (50) of a window space (10), which translates the multidimensional information for the phase space to render an image (50) of relationships between the location of the object and the numerical values assumed by the parameters in correspondence to the location of the object.</p> |
