It relies on a geometrical model that combines a sequential organization and a hierarchical structure. In the overview mode, the user can access information through natural language queries. In the browsing mode, the content of the paragraphs is displayed in a moving walkway fashion. The model is compared with previous studies on document visualization for passage retrieval. The merits of interactive 3D manipulation through the intuitively oriented 3D-XV geometrical model are outlined.
