Abstract

In response to a user touching one of a plurality of pieces of content arranged on a display in a two-dimensional manner, a browsing system and method may transform the pieces of content into a three-dimensional arrangement, with the desired piece of content being displayed on the very top and overlapping adjacent pieces of content. The plurality of pieces of content can be images, each of which may be associated with a document. The images may be sorted based on the associated documents, for instance, the relevance of the associated documents with respect to a context or topic. The images in the three-dimensional arrangement may have a size which decreases from the desired image in both horizontal and vertical directions such that only a portion of the images being overlapped is exposed.
