System and method for providing three-dimensional graphical user interface

A system for using a three-dimensional (3D) space to display a plurality of items to a user on a mobile computing device, where each one of said plurality of items can be interacted with to acquire additional information, said 3D space including a first virtual space that is initially visible to said user and a second and third virtual space that is initially not visible to said user, comprising:

• a display device;
• at least one processor module;
• and
• a memory device comprising executable code for:
• displaying on said display device at least a first one of said plurality of items in said first virtual space and a second one of said plurality of items in said second virtual space, wherein only one of said first and second virtual spaces is displayed to said user at a time, wherein said plurality of items displayed in said 3D space are programmatic links to photos stored on said mobile device and programmatic links to information available via the internet;
• and
• displaying a map in said first and second virtual spaces on said display device, said map simultaneously identifying said first one of said plurality of items and at least a said second one of said plurality of items, thereby allowing said user to be aware of said second one of said plurality of items in said first virtual space even though said second one of said plurality of items is not displayed in said first virtual space and aware of said first one of said plurality of items in said second virtual space even though said first one of said plurality of items is not displayed in said second virtual space;
• wherein moving through said 3D space from said first virtual space to said second virtual space results in movement of said first one of said plurality of items off of a first side of said display device and movement of said second one of said plurality of items onto a second side of said display device;
• wherein said first one of said plurality of items can be interacted with to receive corresponding information in said third virtual space, said corresponding information replacing said first one of said plurality of items and said map so that said first one of said plurality of items and said map are not being displayed in said third virtual space.
