Estimating the term…
A system, method and computer program are provided for user navigation within a virtual reality three-dimensional workspace containing functional three-dimensional objects. The viewer navigates from an initial viewpoint interface through a sequence of viewpoints, which sequence the system records. When the viewer has completed his accessing of a functional object for whatever purpose, he has the option of triggering a backout sequence. If the viewer triggers such a sequence, the system will backout from the accessed objects through the sequence of recorded viewpoints in reverse order. At any one of these viewpoints during the backout, the viewer has the option of interrupting the reverse or backout sequence and proceeding to any viewpoint he may desire in another direction.
