Abstract
One embodiment of the invention involves a computer-implemented method in which information obtained from a uniform resource locator is converted into at least one texture. The texture is mapped onto a surface of a three-dimensional object located in the virtual three-dimensional space thereby forming a three-dimensional navigation mechanism.
Claims11
A computer-implemented method for creating a three-dimensional navigation mechanism to navigate a virtual three-dimensional space comprising:
- converting information obtained from a uniform resource locator into at least one texture;
- and
- mapping the at least one texture on a geometric surface which forms the three-dimensional navigation mechanism.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor coupled to a memory, the memory having stored therein instructions which when executed by the processor cause the processor to generate data and to:
- convert information obtained from a uniform resource locator into at least one texture;
- map the at least one texture on a surface of a three-dimensional object located in the virtual three-dimensional space, which forms the three-dimensional navigation mechanism;
- and
- an interconnect coupled to the processor and the memory to allow the data to be transported between the memory and the processor.

An article comprising:
- a storage medium including instructions stored thereon which when executed cause a computer system to perform a method including:
- converting information obtained from a uniform resource locator into at least one texture;
- and
- mapping the at least one texture on a surface of a three-dimensional object located in the three-dimensional space forming the three-dimensional navigation mechanism.
