Claim One:
1. A computer system configured to visually search and explore a set of objects, the computer system comprising: a sever computer to receive a visual search request from a user and to process a visual search request; a database storing objects that include a plurality of attributes, wherein each object has a corresponding image; the server computer communicatively connected to the database to retrieve a set of images and attributes in response to the visual search request, wherein the server computer determines whether to include a visual search link in search results having the set of images and attributes, wherein the set of images is rendered in a three-dimensional interface or a two-dimensional interface based on a number of images that are within the set of images when the user accesses the visual search link the two-dimensional interface is provided if the number of images is below a threshold and the three-dimensional interface is provided if the number of images is above the threshold; and the server computer generates a graphical user interface to organize the images and attributes and dynamically transitions between the three-dimensional interface of the set of images to a two-dimensional interface of the set of images based on the size of the set, wherein the three-dimensional interface or the two-dimensional interface dynamically changing image sizes in the set of images based on the number of images that are within the set of images, dynamically changing metadata displayed in the three-dimensional interface or the two-dimensional interface based on the number of images that are within the set of images, and dynamically changing the sorting, filtering, and classification controls included in the three-dimensional interface or the two-dimensional interface based on attributes of images within the set of images.
