Abstract
A system and method for providing a dynamic user interface for a dense three-dimensional scene is presented. Clusters are placed in a three-dimensional scene arranged proximal to each other such cluster to form a cluster spine. Each cluster includes one or more concepts. Each cluster spine is projected into a two-dimensional display relative to a stationary perspective. Controls operating on a view of the cluster spines in the display are presented. A compass logically framing the cluster spines within the display is provided. A label to identify one such concept in one or more of the cluster spines appearing within the compass is generated. A plurality of slots in the two-dimensional display positioned circumferentially around the compass is defined. Each label is assigned to the slot outside of the compass for the cluster spine having a closest angularity to the slot.
