Abstract:
1. A method for facilitating navigation within an information handling system comprising: presenting, via the information handling system, a navigation front end, the navigation front end comprising a plurality of tiles, each of the plurality of tiles corresponding to a respective item, the plurality of tiles providing a context driven dynamic interface to allow a user to directly access the item, the plurality of tiles being dynamically modifiable by the navigation front end, the plurality of tiles being presented so as to simulate floating above a background thus providing an impression of three dimensionality; accenting a particular tile of the plurality of tiles when the user hovers over the particular tile, the accenting comprising moving the particular tile forward and expanding a size of the tile relative to other tiles of the plurality of tiles, the accenting further comprising presenting a description of the particular tile as a three dimensional presentation, the accenting further comprising presenting a simulation of a horizontal surface and presenting the description so as to appear to be resting on the horizontal surface; enabling access to the item by actuation of one of the plurality of tiles; and, presenting an expanded tile representation upon access to the item, the expanded tile representation allowing a user to interact with a rich visual context menu and to access most recent accessed content relating to the item; and wherein while accenting the particular tile at least some of the plurality of tiles continue to be presented and accessible so as to allow another tile to be accessed.
