Abstract:
A system and method that allows a user to view objects in a three-dimensional environment, where one or more of the objects have a data display (e.g., a data billboard, etc.) that shows data about the object. To enhance user experience and to provide relevant contextual data as the user navigates through the three-dimensional environment, the system calculates a location for the user and a location for each object and determines if a relationship between the user frame of reference and each object location satisfies a first criterion. If the first criterion is satisfied, the system is configured to move the data display to the bottom of a viewing area of the three-dimensional environment (e.g. docking the data display to the bottom of the viewing area, etc.). The system may also arrange the data displays in the same order as the objects are perceived by the user in the three-dimensional environment.
