ABSTRACT:
A method for providing for user selections in an electronic game system through the use of a metaphor of portals suspended before the user, each depicting a representative animated scene, which the user may select and appear to pass through in the process of making the desired selection. Where more selections are available than can be displayed at one time, means are provided to change the current range of selections being displayed. One of the displayed portals is designated at any time as the one that will be chosen when the user activates the input means for making a selection. A preferred embodiment in an immersive virtual reality game system is described.
