Abstract:
A mechanism is provided for exploring three dimensional environments such as those generated from X-ray and tomography scans, in such a way as to “see round” obstacles to an article of interest, without degrading the overall context of an article of interest in terms of it position in relationship to other articles, and to the viewpoint of the user. This is achieved by defining a light guide curve leading to the user's viewpoint, with respect to which ray tracing is performed to define the image displayed to the user whereby rays passing within a predetermined distance of the light guide curve at a relative angle within a predetermined range thereto are deviated so as to conform therewith to a degree proportional to its distance therefrom.

Claim (Index 5):
The method of  claim 4  wherein said step of defining a light guide curve comprises defining an initial light guide curve having a knot or control point under user control, and wherein said step of defining a light guide curve further comprises receiving user input defining a position of said knot or control point and modifying said initial light guide curve to obtain said light guide curve.
