Abstract
A virtual space search interface is provided to search a three-dimensional virtual space image by the visual angle of a virtual user immersed therein. The virtual space search interface engine interfaces the movement of the virtual user so as to adjust it with a mouse in such a way as the movement of a visual line of the body, displays an ICON which can adjust a three-dimensional motion with a mouse on the main image in which the search is made and enables the ICON to search a three-dimensional virtual space image by selecting an element of changes of a gaze, controlling changes of movement in horizon, its moving speed and 2-dimensional movement of neck. Consequently, movement is more free than the use of various ICONs. Since the user is well acquainted with the ICON which represents the body, the user knows what manipulation is good and when such manipulation can be executed so that a virtual space can be searched easily.
