Abstract

See full text

An interactive computer system displays informational and control objects consisting of multiple panels that facilitate browsing and selecting an element from a group of menus. Multiple menus are presented in a three-dimensional structure that contains one panel for each menu. Each panel is connected to another to form the three-dimensional object. When the menu is opened, the computer system provides high quality animation that illustrates the three-dimensional nature of the object and the relationship between the panels. The user can spin or rotate the three-dimensional object to reveal other menu panels. As each panel is revealed, the three-dimensional object is animated to show the spinning of the menu structure and the relationship between the menu panels.
