Abstract: Computer-implemented method of positioning a set of objects on a user interface on a surface of a three-dimensional structure, each member of the set of the objects having a size in two dimensions. Objects are assigned to a respective one of a plurality of subsets of objects based on object characteristics. Each subset is assigned to a respective two-dimensional portion of predetermined size. For each subset having an unpositioned object, object occupancy in the portion is identified and unpositioned objects are allocated to a position within the portion on the basis of object dimension and unoccupied space. The two-dimensional portions are positioned based on a specification and each object position is mapped within the portions to a three-dimensional coordinate. Responsive to input, positioning of the plurality of two-dimensional portions is modified, and each allocated object position is mapped to a new three-dimensional coordinate within the modified portion positions.

In response, the interactive cursor is dynamically moved from the first location to the second location. Based at least in part on the second date, a second estimated fertility is determined, and the first estimated fertility in the second region is replaced with the second estimated fertility.
