1. A method for documenting collaboration to resolve a problem disclosed by telemetry data in the operation of a three dimensional (3D) complex at a particular remote location, comprising:

  • generating from the telemetry data a 3D representation of the complex over a period of time defined by the telemetry data, the complex being comprised of one or more objects proximate to one another within the complex and the telemetry data being provided by one or more monitoring instruments recording events at the particular remote location serving as a locus for the three dimensional complex, said representation being a dynamic 3D representation showing interactions between and among said one or more objects during said period of time;

    providing for each of a plurality of collaborators a 3D perspective chosen by each respective collaborator from which to view the 3D representation, each said chosen perspective being a directional orientation from a chosen location within the 3D representation, each collaborator having an expertise with respect to the problem being modeled in three spatial dimensions over time by the representation, each collaborator being able to change the chosen perspective and to move about within the 3D representation over said period of time;

    enabling each collaborator to document said chosen perspective at a selected point in time during viewing of the 3D representation, said documentation including entry by the respective collaborator of notes pertaining to said problem at said selected point in time; and

    displaying the entered notes in sequential order during a subsequent viewing of the 3D representation,wherein decision makers informed by the notes of collaborators resolve the problem being modeled by the 3D representation.
