1. A method comprising:
- generating, by a computing device having at least one processor, a visually three dimensional environment defined by a plurality of surfaces including a plurality of surfaces, each surface at a visually different depth within the visually three dimensional environment; and
generating, by the content rendering device, a display of information relating to a visual guide for multimedia content on one or more of the plurality of surfaces.

Abstract
A method and apparatus of displaying visual guide for multimedia content. In one embodiment, the visual guide is constructed of a three dimensional environment, in which multimedia content information is displayed. A user may navigate the three dimensional environment to view additional or alternative information. In one or more arrangements, different surfaces of the three dimensional environment may correspond to different levels of preference or desirability.
