1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus:

  • to cause a view of a three-dimensional graphical user interface to be displayed on a touch-sensitive display, the three-dimensional graphical user interface comprising a three-dimensional arrangement of a plurality of graphical objects, wherein each of the graphical objects has an associated display parameter comprising at least a position at which the respective graphical object is displayed;

    to identify at least one graphical object for which the associated position has a first positional relationship with a threshold plane;

    to identify at least one graphical object for which the associated position has a second positional relationship with the threshold plane;

    to adapt the three-dimensional arrangement of the plurality of graphical objects by causing the identified at least one graphical object for which the associated position has the second positional relationship with the threshold plane to be moved into a cluster; and

    to enable individual selectability of the identified at least one graphical object for which the associated position has the first positional relationship with the threshold plane, and to disable the individual selectability of the identified at least one graphical object for which the associated position has the second positional relationship with the threshold plane,wherein, in an instance the individual selectability of a graphical object is enabled, the graphical object is individually selectable, andwherein individually selecting a graphical object causes an action to be performed in respect of the selected graphical object, and wherein, in an instance the individual selectability is disabled, the action is not performed in response to interacting with the graphical object.
