Three dimensional visual programming interface for a network of devices

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the steps of:

• displaying a 3D virtual environment that includes a first logic node and a second logic node, wherein the 3D virtual environment represents a real-world environment that includes a first physical object and a second physical object, and wherein the first logic node represents a set of functions associated with the first physical object, and the second logic node represents a set of functions associated with the second physical object;
• receiving a first set of inputs for creating a first link between the first logic node and the second logic node;
• and
• based on the first set of inputs, displaying the first link between the first logic node and the second logic node within the 3D virtual environment, wherein the first link represents a first data connection between the first physical object and the second physical object in the real-world environment.

A system for programming and viewing a network of physical objects within a 3D visual programming interface, comprising:

• a memory that includes an interface engine;
• and
• a processor that is coupled to the memory and, when executing the interface engine, is configured to perform the steps of:
• displaying a 3D virtual environment that includes a first logic node and a second logic node, wherein the 3D virtual environment represents a real-world environment that includes a first physical object and a second physical object, and wherein the first logic node represents a set of functions associated with the first physical object, and the second logic node represents a set of functions associated with the second physical object;
• receiving a first set of inputs for creating a first link between the first logic node and the second logic node;
• and
• based on the first set of inputs, displaying the first link between the first logic node and the second logic node within the 3D virtual environment, wherein the first link represents a first data connection between the first physical object and the second physical object in the real-world environment.
