TLDR
In this paper, an artist reading group, an album reading group and a content reading group are displayed on a display screen, with images representing contents of corresponding files or folders attached thereto.Abstract:
Files and folders in the form of hierarchy can be confirmed visually easily to enhance the operability of search or content confirmation. An artist reading group 101 , an album reading group 102 , and a content (each music within an album) reading group 103 are displayed on a display screen. The groups 101 to 103 are displayed so as to form a three-dimensional body, for example, a side (polygonal side) of a polygonal column by a panel 101 a or the like having images representative of contents of corresponding files or folders attached thereto.read more

A three dimensional spatial user interface
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and system of providing a three dimensional spatial user interface (SUI) to a user of a computing device is presented, where the SUI may be manipulated in three dimensions and contain a plurality of portals.
Patent
Four-dimensional graphical user interface
TL;DR: In this paper, the user selects a number of workspaces to be displayed and each selected workspaces is then texture mapped to a polygonal surface, and the surfaces are displayed at orientations to form a polyhedron with a workspace on each face.

A multidimensional data display and manipulation system and methods for using same
TL;DR: In this paper, a user interface and data management procedures for the efficient display, manipulation and analysis of multi attributed data or data amenable to multidimensional display and management are presented.
Patent
Background image with a continuously rotating and functional 3D icon
TL;DR: In this article, a graphical user interface displays a three-dimensional icon with a background image, which is selectable by a user to carry out a corresponding function. Buttons displayed in the side wall may be immediately activated by double clicking so the user does not have to center the other side wall.
Patent
Display of hierarchical three-dimensional structures with rotating substructures
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a sequence of images of a hierarchical structure that is perceived as three-dimensional, and the cones can be rotated in steps that produce the perception of object constancy for each node.
