1. An interactive, electronic method for exploring and analyzing visual data of a scene using a plurality of traversal records, comprising: displaying an abstract map of the visual data, wherein the abstract map comprises a panoramic overview of the visual data derived from the visual data for illustrating a plurality of markers, where each marker is associated with a traversal record of the plurality of traversal records; plotting the plurality of markers selectively onto the abstract map, wherein each of at least two of the plurality of traversal records comprises a time-based sequence of frames captured by a different one of a plurality of users from the visual data via an overlay window positioned relative to the visual data, wherein each of the at least two of the plurality of traversal records further comprises a respective subset of spatial audio data associated with a spatial territory of the time-based sequence of frames of a respective one of the at least two of the plurality of traversal records, wherein each subset of spatial audio data is defined via virtual microphone icons graphically placed by a user within the panoramic overview, and wherein the visual data and the spatial audio data have previously been recorded prior to each of the plurality of users capturing a respective time-based sequence of frames associated with a respective one of the plurality of traversal records; and playing back one of the plurality of traversal records associated with one of the plurality of markers in response to an interactive selection of the one of the plurality of markers.
