Abstract:
1. An article comprising a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium embodying instructions that when performed by one or more machines result in operations comprising: receiving first user-generated input selecting one of a plurality of first elements in a graphical user interface, each first element identifying a different work area; displaying, in response to the first user-generated input, a plurality of second elements characterizing categories of primary objects associated with the work area corresponding to the selected first element in the graphical user interface; receiving second user-generated input selecting one of the second elements in the graphical user interface; and displaying, in response to the second user-generated input, a visual representation of a plurality of primary objects associated with the category corresponding to the selected second element, the plurality of displayed primary objects being displayed in a first person perspective projection format with the objects being displayed in order at depths along a depth dimension in the first person perspective projection format according to values of a first attribute associated with the second element; wherein distances between the primary objects in the depth dimension have varying intervals that characterize a relative difference in the first attribute values along the depth dimension; wherein the displayed primary objects are further ordered along a horizontal dimension according to values of a second attribute such that distances between the primary objects in the horizontal dimension have varying intervals that characterize a relative difference in the second attribute values along the horizontal dimension.
