A friend just did his diploma thesis on this. He built a system where you use a tablet device in your hand to push through 3D space visualizing the layers. I couldn't possibly describe it well enough, but I'll forward him a link to this thread and see if he answers.

When I interned at Autodesk, they have something similar for movie making.

they call it the virtual camera. it's essentially a tablet, you used as if it's a camera of a virtual world.

Avatar was made with that device.
