First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for creating a layout for a 3D visualization comprising:
- inputting a tree data structure, each leaf of the tree associated with one or more forms of media;
obtaining a plurality of candidate layouts;
comparing the plurality of candidate layouts;
selecting a solution layout based on the comparison; and
constructing a 3D visualization of the tree data structure based on the solution layout, wherein the representation of each leaf of the tree data structure within the 3D visualization provides a summary of the media associated with that leaf.

Abstract
A 3D graphical user interface includes a two-dimensional ground-plane layout representing the relationship between one or more leaf elements of a tree data structure The interface further includes at least one building-like structure, each of the at least one building-like structures corresponding to a respective one of the one or more leaf elements. Each of the at least one building-like structure provides a summary of media associated with the respective one of the more leaf elements corresponding to that at least one building-like structure.
