1. A method comprising:

  • determining one or more items for rendering in a user interface;

    causing, at least in part, a determination of one or more rendering locations in a three-dimensional model space for one or more representations of the one or more items based, at least in part, on location information associated with the one or more items;

    sorting the one or more items by distance from a viewing angle such that a closest item is selected as an initial reference for an overlapping of the one or more rendering locations;

    causing, at least in part, a grouping, a de-overlapping, or a combination thereof of the one or more representations based, at least in part, on the overlapping of the one or more rendering locations;

    causing, at least in part, a rendering of the one or more representations in the user interface based, at least in part, on the grouping, the de-overlapping, or a combination thereof; and

    causing, at least in part, a dynamic resizing of the one or more rendered representations based on the distance from the viewing angle.
