A Device for Easily Browsing a Rich Variety of Content Using The Metaphor of Reading Poetry

We propose an interface for easily accessing a rich variety of content using the metaphor of reading poetry. The interface is designed for searching content by turning the pages of a book-like device. Using the device, the user can easily access desired content without pressing buttons many times, using complex graphical user interfaces, or using a scroll bar to scroll excessively. The prototype we developed can control TV, radio, media files stored in a HDD, and Internet browsing. The interface can be applied as a controller for commercial products such as PCs, TVs, and HDD recorders.
