Claim 8:
9. A computing device that presents three-dimensional data in two-dimensions, comprising:
a video display with two-dimensional display capabilities;
a memory comprising stored instructions and stored symbol data, wherein the stored symbol data defines sequences of symbols; and
a controller, wherein execution of the instructions causes the controller to at least:
present symbols passing through respective display positions of a first two-dimensional array of display positions on the video display in sequences defined by the symbol data;
stop symbols passing through the display positions of the first two-dimensional array to present a first set of symbols in the first two-dimensional array of display positions;
in response to a triggering criterion being satisfied, present a second two-dimensional array of display positions in addition to the first two-dimensional array of display positions, wherein the first two-dimensional array of display positions and the second two-dimensional array of display positions are presented as a stack of planar two-dimensional arrays of display positions that form a three-dimensional array of display positions;
present symbols passing through respective display positions of the first two-dimensional array and the second two-dimensional array of display positions on the video display in sequences defined by the symbol data; and
stop symbols passing of symbols through the display positions of the first two-dimensional array and the second two-dimensional array to present a second set of symbols in the first two-dimensional array and the second two-dimensional array of the three-dimensional array of display positions.
