  • Publication number: 20070143667
    Abstract: A multi-dimensional file visualizer and chooser allows the user to rapidly and effectively view and select their files. The visualizer and chooser is a computer software application that structures different file types and applies 3D GUI visualization technology to allow users an improved ability to visualize and select the file they are interested in. The specific application provides the ability to maintain context among file sources as well as focus on the specific files being examined and/or selected.

  • Patent number: 7107549
    Abstract: The present invention is a new 3D graphical user interface (3D GUI) technology that seamlessly integrates personal computer (PC) desktop, web portal, and data visualization functions in an intuitive 3D environment. This new paradigm in human computer interfaces provides a seamless and intuitive ability to create a 3D website, “walk” or navigate from one 3D website to another, and allows multiple users to collaborate and interact with each other and the website. The invention dynamically creates a customized 3D environment that allows intuitive access to complicated websites as well as seamless multi-user collaboration and interaction. —In a preferred embodiment of the invention—The 3D GUI installs as the active desktop on a PC, replacing the user's “wallpaper” with the 3D GUI. —In another embodiment—The 3D GUI is accessed via a standard web browser window (i.e. using Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer).

  • Publication number: 20040109031
    Abstract: The present invention is a new 3D graphical user interface (3D GUI) technology that seamlessly integrates personal computer (PC) desktop, web portal, and data visualization functions in an intuitive 3D environment. This new paradigm in human computer interfaces provides seamless and intuitive access to a computer's operating systems, applications, and files as well as the Internet and on-line web portal functions. The invention automatically scans a computer user's hard drive and dynamically creates a customized 3D environment that allows intuitive access to all the user's computer functionality. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the 3D GUI installs as the active desktop on a PC, replacing the user's “wallpaper” with the 3D GUI.
