ABSTRACT:
A user interface device for intuitive sequencing through displayed information comprises a cue block 10 with a top smooth curved control surface 12 and downwardly inclined ribbed or textured control surfaces 14, which suggest the smooth surfaces of the exposed pages of an open book, and the ribbed edges of the page edges to either side, respectively. The device detects the location or movement of a user's finger on or near the control surfaces and maps this to appropriate page turning commands to control the speed, direction and/or mode of sequencing.
