Abstract
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.
Claims18
A system for presenting search engine results in a virtual three-dimensional environment, said system comprised of:
- an environment rendering module to receive a data container adapted to contain at least one content display parameter representing at least a portion of the search engine results, said module adapted to render said container as a function of the content display parameter;
- a search engine module adapted to receive at least one search parameter, and to map at least one search result to the content display parameter;
- and
- a view production module to produce a two dimensional image correlated to a prospective view of the virtual environment from a view point within the virtual environment;
A method for presenting data query results in a virtual environment comprising:
- providing a data container to represent the data results;
- receiving at least one data query result and applying at least a portion of said data query result to said data container;
- and
- rendering a two dimensional image of the data container correlated to at least one prospective view of the data query result in the environment from at least one viewpoint within the environment.
