ABSTRACT:
A method and system for navigating through an opaque structure via a user on a display in a computer system. The method and system comprises the steps of determining if the opaque structure is within a predetermined distance of the user and changing the opaque structure to a translucent structure when the user is within the predetermined distance of the opaque structure. Accordingly through the use of the method and system, a user can navigate more easily and efficiently through a display, particularly in three-dimensional environments associated with such a display without becoming disoriented.
