1. A single virtual environment interaction method executing on a computer system, the method comprising:

  • simultaneously maintaining first and second independent views in memory, the first and second independent views corresponding to respectively different geometric planes in a single virtual environment;

    independently changing the first view responsive to a first input directive from a first human input device while concurrently changing the second view responsive to a second input directive from a human second input device; and

    modifying a focal point of interest in one of the views responsive to a third input directive from one of the first and second human input devices, whereina first geometric plane corresponds to the first view,a second geometric plane corresponds to the second view, andthe independent changing of the first and second views changes the relative orientation of the first geometric plane to the second geometric plane.
