Abstract: Various implementations for efficiently manipulating surfaces in a multi-dimensional space using energy agents are described. A context including one or more surfaces is rendered for display in the multi-dimensional space. One or more events manipulating the one or more surfaces of the context are detected. One or more energy agents are computed for the one or more surfaces of the context based on the one or more events. A visual effect manipulating the one or more surfaces of the context is applied based on the one or more energy agents.
