Pipes, balls and a puck

balls

The hierarchy of menus and controls is represented by an animated visual mechanism of pipes, balls and a puck. Unlike a map, however, the animated mechanism constantly shows the current whereabouts, continually expands the view of the immediate neighbourhood.

The puck surrounds the ball indicating the user’s current position in the menu hierarchy.The puck is always present when the menu system is displayed. The puck is divided into 4 parts.They correspond to the directional controls (up/down, left/right) on the remote control.The arrows on the cursor indicate which directions to choose. In this way users can navigate through the menu hierarchy to the control they wish to adjust.

When menu items are more numerous than can fit comfortably on the TV display, only a portion are shown.

Those omitted are indicated by a cluster of balls which indicates that there are ‘more’ below.

Direct selection and control

Menu items are controlled as soon as they are selected by the puck. Only a few items require information with the OK key.
