Information visualization system

An information visualization system comprising:

• a partial image generating means that generates three-dimensional computer graphic images along a walk through path based on walk through path information that includes three-dimensional space information and branching information, converts the three-dimensional computer graphic images into a walk through movie image having a movie format, partitions the walk through movie image at branching points of the walk through path, and generates a plurality of partial images in movie format;
• a branching information generating means that generates the branching information related to branching connections between each partial image generated by the partial image generating means;
• a branching information storing means that stores the branching information generated by the branching information generating means;
• a partial image storing means that stores the partial images generated by said partial image generating means and outputs particular partial images depending on partial image selection instructions;
• a partial image selection means that sends partial image switching instructions for switching partial images stored in the partial image storing means according to a path selection operation of the user;
• and
• a partial image link play means that sends said partial image selection instructions according to partial image switching instructions received from the partial image selecting means and that requires the particular partial storage images output from said partial image storage means and at the same time links and plays said particular partial image.
