Configuring three dimensional dataset for management by graphical user interface

An information handling system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory coupled to at least one of the processors;
• and
• a set of computer program instructions stored in the memory and executed by at least one of the processors in order to perform actions comprising:
• selecting a first attribute, a second attribute, and a third attribute, wherein each of the attributes correspond to a plurality of objects included in a dataset;
• assigning the first attribute to an x coordinate value, the second attribute to a y coordinate value, and the third attribute to a z coordinate value;
• creating a simulated three dimensional (3D) scene of the plurality of objects on a display screen by using the x, y, and z coordinate values corresponding to the attributes of each of the plurality of objects;
• displaying, on a two dimensional (2D) screen, a gyroscopic graphical user interface (GUI) that provides three dimensional (3D) control of the simulated 3D scene, wherein the gyroscopic GUI comprises a 2D rotational control and one or more 3D rotational controls that are each separately responsive to interactions performed by a user, and wherein a selected 3D rotational control is an elliptical-shaped control centered in the gyroscopic GUI and an angle with respect to an x-axis of the gyroscopic GUI control;
• receiving, at the selected 3D rotational control, a 3D rotational gesture from the user;
• and
• adjusting the 3D scene displayed on the 2D screen in response to the received gesture, wherein the adjusting comprises altering an x, a y, and a z coordinates of at least one of the plurality of objects included in the 3D scene based on the angle and an extent of the 3D rotational gesture.

A computer program product stored in a computer readable storage medium, comprising computer program code that, when executed by an information handling system, performs actions comprising:

• selecting a first attribute, a second attribute, and a third attribute, wherein each of the attributes correspond to a plurality of objects included in a dataset;
• assigning the first attribute to an x coordinate value, the second attribute to a y coordinate value, and the third attribute to a z coordinate value;
• creating a simulated three dimensional (3D) scene of the plurality of objects on a display screen by using the x, y, and z coordinate values corresponding to the attributes of each of the plurality of objects;
• displaying, on a two dimensional (2D) screen, a gyroscopic graphical user interface (GUI) that provides three dimensional (3D) control of the simulated 3D scene, wherein the gyroscopic GUI comprises a 2D rotational control and one or more 3D rotational controls that are each separately responsive to interactions performed by a user, and wherein a selected 3D rotational control is an elliptical-shaped control centered in the gyroscopic GUI and an angle with respect to an x-axis of the gyroscopic GUI control;
• receiving, at the selected 3D rotational control, a 3D rotational gesture from the user;
• and
• adjusting the 3D scene displayed on the 2D screen in response to the received gesture, wherein the adjusting comprises altering an x, a y, and a z coordinates of at least one of the plurality of objects included in the 3D scene based on the angle and an extent of the 3D rotational gesture.
