Abstract
When the user directs to change the view point within a virtual 3-D coordinate space having thereon displayed reduced images as a list of data by successively inputting a view point moving in an arbitrary direction, a trace of the movement of the view point is displayed within the screen. Thus, it has become possible to visualize individual data files in the database and the relationship among each item of the data. Consequently, the user can readily manage the data and retrieve the information he needs.
