Method and system for spatial accessing of time-based information

摘要

A method and system for permitting a user to spatially access and playback time-based information having a plurality of segments. Each of the plurality of segments are mapped to a corresponding one of a plurality of mapped spatial coordinates. A user interface determines an input spatial coordinate corresponding to a portion of a user's body within an input coordinate space. A segment of the time-based information corresponding to the input spatial coordinate is accessed and played back using a playback device. A sensory output which corresponds to the segment is produced for sensing by the portion of the user's body. The sensory output aids the user in obtaining a sense of the whole of the time-based information in the input coordinate space.
