Abstract
A three-dimensional journaling system is described herein. The three-dimensional journaling system comprises a data repository that includes journal data of a user, wherein the journal data corresponds to at least one location in a geographic region. The system additionally includes a display component that causes at least a portion of the journal data to be displayed on a display screen as a journal entry in a computer-implemented three-dimensional representation of the geographic region at the location that corresponds to the journal data.
Claims20
A three-dimensional journaling system, comprising:
- a data repository that comprises journal data of a user, wherein the journal data corresponds to at least one location in a geographic region;
- and
- a display component that causes at least a portion of the journal data to be displayed on a display screen as a journal entry in a computer-implemented three-dimensional representation of the geographic region at the location in the three-dimensional representation that corresponds to the location in the geographic region.
A method comprising the following computer-executable acts:
- receiving journal data of a user, wherein the journal data corresponds to a location in a geographic region;
- and
- displaying, on a display screen, a journal entry that is based upon the journal data in a computer-implemented three-dimensional representation of the geographic region at the location in representation that corresponds to the journal data.
A computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform the following acts:
- access journal data of a user from a data repository, wherein the journal data corresponds to a location in a geographic region and includes geographic trace data;
- display a journal entry based upon the journal data in a computer-implemented three-dimensional representation of the geographic region at the location that corresponds to the journal data;
- display an avatar that is representative of the user in the representation of the geographic region;
- and
- animate the avatar to transition in the representation of the geographic region in accordance with the geographic trace data.
