Abstract
An intellectual structure for displaying multi-dimensional data which is represented as a computer generated model or plot of data space in parallel or non-orthogonal coordinates, wherein the data space is presented in a display space which facilitates relative motion of an observer with respect thereto. Accordingly, the essence of the invention is to create motion of the observer with respect to the data space because it significantly facilitates and enhances comprehension of relationships, structures, patterns or trends within the data space. This is accomplished by creating an n-dimensional data display utilizing parallel coordinates to view the resulting data space using observer-based motion.
