GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR DISPLAYING OBJECTS
First Claim
1. An article comprising a tangible machine-readable storage medium embodying instructions that when performed by one or more machines result in operations comprising:
- receiving first user-generated input selecting a first element in a graphical user interface identifying a 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 in the graphical user interface;
receiving second user-generated input selecting a second element in the graphical user interface element; and
displaying a visual representation of a plurality of primary objects associated with the category corresponding to the 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 an attribute associated with the second element;
wherein distances between the primary objects characterize a relative difference in the attribute values along the depth dimension.

Abstract
First user-generated input is received that selects a first element in a graphical user interface identifying a work area. In response, a plurality of second elements characterizing categories of objects associated with the work area are displayed in the graphical user interface. Thereafter, second user-generated input is received that selects a second element in the graphical user interface element. Once the second element is selected, a visual representation of a plurality of primary objects associated with the category corresponding to the second element is displayed. The plurality of displayed primary objects are displayed in a first person perspective projection format with the objects being displayed in order at depths in the first person perspective projection according to values of an attribute associated with the second element. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

17. An article comprising a tangible machine-readable storage medium embodying instructions that when performed by one or more machines result in operations comprising:
-
receiving user-generated input initiating rendering of a graphical user interface displaying an object work list; and displaying the object work list in a first person perspective projection format with renderings of objects in the object work list being relatively positioned along a depth dimension according to values of a first attribute and the renderings of the objects in the object work list being relatively positioned along a horizontal dimension according to values of a second attribute, a size of each object rendering being based on a relative value of the corresponding first attribute. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)

20. An article comprising a tangible machine-readable storage medium embodying instructions that when performed by one or more machines result in operations comprising:
-
displaying a plurality of primary objects in a first person perspective projection format with renderings of the primary objects being ordered along a depth dimension according to values of a first attribute; receiving user-generated input selecting one of the primary objects, the selected primary object having a first attribute with a first value, at least one of the primary objects having attribute values less than the first value and at least one of the primary objects having attribute values greater than the first value; and displaying, in the first perspective projection format, the primary objects excluding the selected object that have attribute values either one of (i) greater or (ii) lesser than the first attribute value, enlarging a size of the selected object so that the enlarged object replaces the selected object, and displaying, the remaining primary objects excluding the selected object, in a first person perspective diminishing projection format.
