Claim One:
1. A system that facilitates simulating a portion 2-dimensional (2D) data for implementation within a 3-dimensional (3D) virtual environment, comprising: a 3D virtual environment that enables a three dimensional (3D) exploration of a 3D image constructed from a collection of two or more 2D images each have a pure view, the 3D image is constructed by combining the two or more 2D images based upon a respective image perspective; an analyzer that evaluates the collection of two or more 2D images to identify a portion of the 3D image that is unrepresented by the pure view from the combined two or more 2D images; and a synthetic view generator that creates a simulated synthetic view for the portion of 3D image that is unrepresented, the simulated synthetic view replicates a 2D image with a respective image perspective for the unrepresented portion of 3D image.
