Graphical user interface for displaying objects
First Claim
1. An article comprising a tangible machine-readable storage medium embodying instructions that when performed by one or more machines result in operations comprising:
- receiving first user-generated input selecting a first element in a graphical user interface identifying a work area;
displaying, in response to the first user-generated input, a plurality of second elements characterizing categories of primary objects associated with the work area in the graphical user interface;
receiving second user-generated input selecting a second element in the graphical user interface element; and
displaying a visual representation of a plurality of primary objects associated with the category corresponding to the second element, the plurality of displayed primary objects being displayed in a first person perspective projection format with the objects being displayed in order at depths along a depth dimension in the first person perspective projection format according to values of an attribute associated with the second element;
displaying, concurrently with the plurality of primary objects, a visual representation of a plurality of secondary objects associated with a category other than the category corresponding to the selected element, wherein the plurality of secondary objects are displayed in the first person perspective projection format with the objects being displayed in order at depths along the depth dimension in the first person perspective projection format according to values of an attribute;
wherein the plurality of primary objects are displayed in the first person perspective projection format in a center of the graphical user interface and the plurality of secondary objects are displayed in the first person perspective projection format offset from the first person perspective projection format of the plurality of primary objects;
wherein distances between the primary objects characterize a relative difference in the attribute values along the depth dimension.

Abstract
First user-generated input is received that selects a first element in a graphical user interface identifying a work area. In response, a plurality of second elements characterizing categories of objects associated with the work area are displayed in the graphical user interface. Thereafter, second user-generated input is received that selects a second element in the graphical user interface element. Once the second element is selected, a visual representation of a plurality of primary objects associated with the category corresponding to the second element is displayed. The plurality of displayed primary objects are displayed in a first person perspective projection format with the objects being displayed in order at depths in the first person perspective projection according to values of an attribute associated with the second element. Related apparatus, systems, techniques and articles are also described.
