Abstract:
A method for editing data used in creating a three-dimensional virtual reality environment, which data comprise model data for describing nodes and a script for controlling events to be transferred between nodes, the method comprising the steps of:providing a graphical user interface for displaying and editing data in response to operation instructions from a user; inputting script preparation data and model data comprising node data, event data and routing data; preparing a source program for the script in response to an operation instruction for editing the script from the user on the graphical user interface, which script controls an interaction between nodes of the model data; editing the routing data according to an operation instruction from the user to establish a correspondence among node data, event data and the prepared script; confirming the foregoing editing operations in response to an operation instruction from the user, wherein the confirming step comprises: automatically compiling a source program of said prepared script and thereby preparing an object program of said script; displaying an object described by the model data; and executing the object program with respect to the displayed object.
