1. A computing device, comprising:

  • a display screen;

    a camera;

    at least one computing device processor;

    a memory device including instructions that, when executed by the at least one computing device processor, enable the computing device to;

    determine relationship information between related content capable of being displayed on a display screen of a computing device, the relationship information indicates a relative arrangement of the related content;

    determine, based at least in part on the relationship information, a node hierarchy for a plurality of nodes that includes position information for a first node of the plurality of nodes, the position information includes lateral position information and depth position information;

    associate a first plane of content of a plurality of planes of content with the first node of the plurality of nodes based at least on the relationship information and a depth position of the first node;

    display at a first lateral position on the display screen, first content included in the first plane of content;

    display at a second lateral position on the display screen, second content included in a second plane of content;

    acquire, using the camera, at least one image of a viewer of the computing device;

    determine, by analyzing the at least one image, a location of the viewer with respect to the computing device;

    determine a first lateral offset position for the first plane of content based at least in part on the location of the viewer;

    determine a second lateral offset position for the second plane of content based at least in part on the location of the viewer;

    display, on the display screen, the first content at the first lateral offset position; and

    display, on the display screen, the second content at the second lateral offset position.
