ABSTRACT:
A graphical user interface comprising a main pane, a web button or interactive content button area, an input area, a mini map area, and a three-dimensional view area is disclosed. There are three main view that are displayed (a) three-dimensional perspective view of a virtual three-dimensional space that comprises a plurality of virtual display windows, wherein each of the virtual display windows is allocated a specific position in the space and is associated with a network location identifier of a content provider, or (b) an interactive content view of network content associated with the network location identifier, or (c) a map view comprising a map of the virtual three-dimensional space. Various map display, path generation, and navigation functions are provided. The graphical user interface provides a flexible and intuitive way to navigate a complex three-dimensional virtual space in which web pages or other interactive content are mapped to virtual display windows of virtual buildings in a virtual three-dimensional space.
