  • receiving first data navigation instructions for navigating data in a first dimension or a second dimension via a first user interface device;

    causing a presentation of the data to be modified within the first dimension or the second dimension in response to at least receiving the first data navigation instructions;

    receiving second data navigation instructions for navigating the data in a third dimension via a second user interface device; and

    causing the presentation of the data to be modified within a third dimension in response to at least receiving the second data navigation instructions;

    wherein receiving the first data navigation instructions includes receiving the first user navigation instructions via the first user interface device in response to user interaction with the first user interface device in a first plane defined by a first surface of an electronic device; and

    wherein receiving the second data navigation instructions includes receiving the second user navigation instructions via the second user interface device in response to user interaction with the second user interface device in a second plane, wherein the second plane is substantially orthogonal to the first plane, or the second plane is substantially parallel to the first plane and defined by a second surface of the electronic device.
