Abstract
A system and method are set forth which combine an ability to view a motion video with an ability to simultaneously access computer programs. In certain embodiments, the media system provides access to movies, music and photos in a visually appealing three dimensional environment. In certain environments, the media system presents a three dimensional navigation tool (such as a three dimensional wheel) on which thumbnails are presented. A required resource value corresponding to system resources required to present individual thumbnails is generated, followed by the generation of an available resource value corresponding to system resources available to present media associated with the selected thumbnail. The available resource value and one or more required resource values are then processed to generate a consumed resource value, which is then used to limit the number of thumbnails presented.
