1. A three-dimensional graphical user interface comprising:
- a graphical display;
a memory storing a virtual three-dimensional geometric space including a plurality of three-dimensional cells, each cell having an interior and an exterior and having a link to at least one other cell; and
a program memory including instructions for causing the graphical user interface to;
display an interior view of a first cell, the view controllable through a walkthrough interface; and
display an exterior view of the geometric space, the view controllable through a user interface.

Abstract
A three-dimensional graphical user interface includes a graphical display, and a memory storing a geometric space including a plurality of three-dimensional cells. Each cell is linked to at least one other cell through an adjoining surface. A program memory includes instructions for causing the graphical user interface to display an interior view of one of the cells, the view controllable by the user through a walkthrough interface, and display an exterior view of the geometric space, the view controllable by the user through rotation and zoom functions.
