Abstract
This application describes, in part, systems and methods for rotating a graphical representation of a three-dimensional object, such as a clock, to expose a side surface area and display time dependent information on the side surface area. For example, a displayed clock may be graphically rotated such that a side surface area adjacent to the times between 6:00 and 12:00 are exposed. If the current time is between 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. time-dependent items between 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. are obtained and displayed at positions on the side surface area to correspond with the scheduled time for those time-dependent items. If the current time is between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. time-dependent items for the upcoming hours between 6:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. are obtained and displayed.
