Abstract: Personalized navigation technique embodiments are presented that generally involve providing personalized navigation through a virtual three-dimensional (3D) environment. In one general embodiment this is accomplished by inputting a representation of a virtual 3D environment that is to be navigated, along with a number of user specified navigation preferences, and outputting a customized navigation experience. This navigation experience is produced by first establishing a path through the virtual 3D environment, and then optionally controlling the behavior of a virtual camera which reveals the virtual 3D environment to the user as the user traverses the path. Both the path and the virtual camera behavior are personalized to a user based on the aforementioned navigation preferences.
