As David mentioned, rgl can draw 3D figures, but the problem of 
visualizing a 3D path in an informative way is not easy.  The new 
cylinder3d function in rgl might give paths that are easier to decode 
visually than line segments would be; it also offers the possibility of 
encoding orientation in the shape of the cylinder.  I'd be interested in 
hearing how this goes.
