Abstract:
1. A method comprising: computing equipment, executing at least one program stored in one or more storage devices, identifying a digital object having N sides along a directional axis; computing equipment, executing at least one program stored in one or more storage devices, identifying M sets of content, wherein each set of content has a semantic meaning unrelated to graphical properties needed to visually render the digital object within a visual user interface, wherein a sequential ordering exists among the M sets of content; computing equipment, executing at least one program stored in one or more storage devices, displaying the digital object in the visual user interface; and computing equipment, executing at least one program stored in one or more storage devices, rotating the digital object within the visual user interface along the directional axis, which results in different ones of the N number of sides being sequentially displayed for the digital object within the visual interface, computing equipment, executing at least one program stored in one or more storage devices, displaying a data display item that shows one of the M sets of content, wherein the display data item is a displayed graphic element of the visual user interface distinct from the digital object, wherein each sequential increment of the N sides per the rotating results in a sequential increment through the order of the M sets of content being displayed in the data display item, wherein each change to one of the N sides per the rotating results in a corresponding change in the visually presented one of the M sets of content within the data display item, wherein a quantity of the M sets is different from a quantity of N sides.
