Interactive map for browsing items

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• generating, in at least one computing device, a first map of items that includes graphical representations of individual items of a first set of items;
• determining, in the at least one computing device, a selected item according to a selection of one of the graphical representations of the first set of items;
• determining, in the at least one computing device, a second set of items based at least in part on a similarity of the second set of items to the selected item;
• generating, in the at least one computing device, in response to the selection of the one of the graphical representations of the first set of items, a second map of items that includes graphical representations of individual items of the second set of items;
• and
• wherein the graphical representations of the individual items of the second set of items are located at a corresponding position within the second map of items, the corresponding position being based at least in part on a corresponding degree of similarity of a respective item to the selected item.

A system, comprising:

• at least one first computing device, configured to at least
• obtain a request for a map of items from a second computing device;
• and
• send code for generating the map of items to the second computing device in response to the request, the code for generating the map of items, when executed, causing the second computing device to at least:
• generate the map of items, the map of items including a first plurality of items associated with individual items of a plurality of item categories;
• obtain a user selection of one of the items in the map of items;
• update, in response to the user selection of the one of the items in the map of items, the map of items to include a second plurality of items that are similar to the one of the items in the map of items;
• and
• wherein individual items of the second plurality of items are located at a corresponding position within the map of items, the corresponding position being based at least in part on a corresponding degree of similarity of a respective one of the second plurality of items to the one of the items in the map of items.
