Virtual reality 3D interface system for data creation, viewing and editing
First Claim
1. A virtual reality system for displaying a three dimensional data structure and for permitting an operator to interact with the three dimensional data structure, the virtual reality system comprising:
- a three dimensional image environment capable of displaying the three dimensional data structure to the operator in a virtual three dimensional form;
a voice recognition system for permitting the operator to select view and operate functions for use with the three dimensional data structure;
a three dimensional input device having six degree of freedom movements for tracking three dimensional movements caused by the operator to control view and operate functions selected through the voice recognition system;
a virtual director for accepting three coordinate location and three coordinate rotation input from said three dimensional input device, converting the input to spline nodes, storing the spline nodes and for commanding said three dimensional image environment to alter the display of the three dimensional data structure depending upon the input and selected view and operate functions.

Abstract
A three dimensional virtual reality creation, manipulation and editing system including a voice and three dimensional gesture input interface. An operator immersed in a data structure preferably presented in a three dimensional immersion environment interacts with the data structure and performs operations on the data structure in the environment through the voice and gesture input interface. A virtual director receives input from the voice and gesture interface. The director records the input as keyframe values that are necessary time-based spline data points for commanding the display environment to redisplay a recorded spline path for viewing or operational purposes. The voice recognition system accepts commands according to a menu displayed in the three dimensional environment to enable various operational and display functions through the gesture input portion of the interface.
