The present invention relates to a method of representing information on a three-dimensional user interface having multiple portals, in which data is associated with each of the portals. A symbolic marker is associated with each of the portals according to a pre-specified scheme, and displayed in th e respective portals. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the symbolic marker is a coloured marker. By colour-coding the portals, data associated with the portals can be classified into a number of categories to provide th e user with a summary of the data on the three-dimensional user interface at a high level of abstraction. The three-dimensional user interface may be adapted to update the coloured markers more efficiently, and to display them using less computing resources than would be required if more memory- sensitive visual cues were displayed.
