ABSTRACT:
A method and system for providing visual hierarchy of task groups and related viewpoints of a three dimensional display of a computer system is disclosed. The method and system comprises providing a group of task related objects and positioning an object within an associated viewpoint when the object is to be utilized. In the present invention each task group is composed of objects related to a particular user task. Associated with each task group is a viewpoint in the 3D space. The visual organization of task groups and associated viewpoints allows the user to traverse the task-object hierarchy smoothly, seeing more or less of the surrounding task context as desired.
