Abstract

A method for transforming a 2D webpage comprising html elements, into a 3D scene wherein the most interesting html elements for the user appear in the most visible places. To this end, an importance value is associated to each html element and the html element is located into the 3D scene based on location identification derived from the importance value associated to the html element. The importance value of an html element may be defined based on the amount of clicks made on the html element in the 3D scene. One or more avatars may be included into the 3D scene. The location identification may then be based on positions, movements and other actions, or on statistics thereof, of the avatars with respect to the html element in the 3D scene.

Claims

1. A method for transforming a 2D webpage comprising html elements, into a 3D scene wherein said html elements are located,

wherein said method comprises the steps of associating an importance value to each html element, and locating said html element into said 3D scene based on location identification derived from the importance value associated to said html element.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein said method comprises the step of defining said importance value of an html element based on the amount of clicks made on said html element in said 3D scene.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein said method comprises the step of including an avatar into said 3D scene.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein said method comprises the step of defining said importance value of an html element based on position, movement and other actions of said avatar with respect to said html element in said 3D scene.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein said method comprises the steps of

including a plurality of avatars into said 3D scene, and

defining said importance value of an html element based on positions, movements and other actions of the avatars of said plurality with respect to said html element in said 3D scene.

6. The method according to claim 1, wherein said method comprises the steps of

including at least one avatar into said 3D scene, and

defining said importance value of an html element based on statistics of positions, movements and other actions of said avatar with respect to said html element in said 3D scene.

7. The method according to claim 1, wherein said method comprises the steps of

collecting a 3D scene template from a 3D Template Service (3DTS) for creating said 3D scene, and

locating said html element in said 3D scene based on location identification derived from the importance value associated to said html element and on the collected 3D scene template.
