  • Abstract
    We propose an interface for easily accessing a variety of content using the metaphor of reading poetry. The interface is designed to search 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, and media files stored in an HDD and browse the Internet. The interface can be applied as a controller for products such as PCs, TVs, and mobile devices.
