    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a graphical user interface for displaying a plurality of icons, which includes a desktop for conceptually providing thereby a three- dimensional surface for the icons. SOLUTION: The surface is represented on a two-dimensional display, and navigation for a desktop is supported by simulating rotation of the desktop in a three-dimensional space. The desktop is displayed in an apparent distance from a user's view point, and the respective icons are displayed in respective apparent distances based on the apparent distance and respective positions of the plurality of icons on the three-dimensional surface. Each of the plurality of icons is scaled by the related apparent distance to change the apparent distance between the view point and the desktop.

    Abstract: A graphical user interface system for displaying a plurality of icons, whereby the system further comprises a desktop which conceptually provides a three-dimensional surface for the icons. The surface is represented on a two-dimensional display device and navigation of the desktop is supported by simulating a rotation of the desktop in three-dimensional space. Furthermore, the desktop is viewed at an apparent distance from a user viewpoint and each of the plurality of icons are viewed at a viewing distance based on the apparent distance and location of each of the plurality of icons on the three-dimensional surface. Additionally, each of the plurality of icons are scaled by the relevant viewing distance and the apparent distance between the viewpoint and the desktop can be changed.
