Abstract

A method and system for incorporating elements within a user environment into a virtual three-dimensional graphical display of a data processing system. Elements within a user environment are detected. A virtual three-dimensional graphical display of a data processing system is altered to reflect the detected elements within the user environment such that image surfaces within the virtual three-dimensional graphical display which include reflective properties reflect the elements within the user environment.
