ABSTRACT:
A system and method for displaying, browsing and accessing content in real space and time. In one embodiment, a user may browse and access multiple types of electronic content in a three dimensional representation of real space and time, where each document has a time and space attribute. A user may also place electronic documents at different locations in real space and time. A user performs inquiries by moving a space indicator along a time line. A visual indicator representing a relevancy score may provide information regarding document proximity to a selected location in space and time. The relevance score may also offset uncertainties inherent in location tracking systems. A document window is provided to display documents located at a selected point in space and time. Visual indicators associated with the documents may represent the time and space location of each document. Documents in the document window may be sorted as desired by a user.
