Virtual reality generator for use with financial information
DCFirst Claim
1. A virtual reality generator to display pre-processed financial information as a virtual reality world, the virtual reality world being a three dimensional interface that enables a user to simulate movement through and interact with the financial information, the virtual reality generator comprising:
- an input module receiving the pre-processed financial information from a financial analytic system, the financial analytic system generating the pre-processed financial information as a function of predetermined financial analytics on real-time and pre-stored financial data;
a user interface module having a first input for selecting a non-integer terrain parameter for each of a first axis of the three dimensional interface and a second axis of the three dimensional interface, a second input for selecting an axis display parameter for a third axis of the three dimensional interface and a third input for selecting at least one display parameter, the user interface module selecting a portion of the pre-processed financial information as a function of the non-integer terrain parameters and the axis display parameter; and
a virtual reality generator module coupled to the input module and the user interface module, the virtual reality generator generating and displaying on a display device the selected portion of the pre-processed financial information as the virtual reality world,wherein the selected portion of the pre-processed financial information is displayed as a plurality of metaphors in the virtual reality world, at least a subset of the plurality of metaphors being displayed and selected to rotate as a function of a predetermined one of the at least one display parameter, each metaphor in the subset being generated by the virtual reality generator module such that it rotates.

Abstract
A virtual reality generator having an input module that receives as input financial information is disclosed. The virtual reality generator outputs to a display device a virtual reality world generated from the financial information. The financial information can be pre-processed by a financial analytic system prior to input to the virtual reality generator. The financial information can be received from a data file. The virtual reality generator can dynamically display and continuously update the virtual reality world. Further, movement through the virtual reality world can be simulated.
