Claim One:
1. An image display method for displaying, after imaging, a plurality of image data each relating to attribute data, comprising: disposing a plurality of reference image objects, on a display device, each corresponding to each of the plurality of image data at a position based on any one of the corresponding attribute data in one virtual horizontal plane in a virtual three-dimensional (3D) space; selecting one or more of the image data from the plurality of image data on the display device; disposing, on the display device, a viewing image object for indication of the selected image data at a position of any of the corresponding reference image objects moved in a direction of a normal to the virtual horizontal plane, a distance of the viewing image object from the virtual horizontal plane is determined based on the other of the corresponding attribute data; setting a field of view in the virtual 3D space on the display device; imaging, on the display device, the virtual 3D space in the field of view set in the setting the field of view, the disposing of the viewing image object and the imaging are performed at predetermined time intervals; and calculating, with a computer processor, a path along which the viewing image object is disposed at the respective time intervals, and which swings around the position of any of the corresponding reference image objects moved in the direction of the normal to the virtual horizontal plane, a swing width or a swing cycle of the path is determined based on the other of the corresponding attribute data.
