Abstract: A method and apparatus for organizing and accessing visual objects includes a navigable structure. The navigable structure includes a sequence of one or more levels with each level being a loop of visual objects interconnected by lateral links. The visual objects within a level are interconnected to visual objects within adjacent levels using vertical links. The visual objects within a level may also interconnected to visual objects within non-adjacent levels using hyperspace links. A navigator is provided that allows the user to follow the links included in the navigable structure. At each destination reached by the user, the navigator allows the user to access the visual object.
