Abstract
A method is disclosed for navigating a complex structure at an interactive user station. The complex structure includes a plurality of nodes and each node includes at least one presentation element. The interactive user station includes a processor, a memory, and a presentation device. The presentation device comprises a plurality of presentation cells arrangeable in an array. The method includes the step of presenting at least one presentation element associated with a first node at the presentation cells. The method further includes the step of receiving at the processor a signal indicating a user selection of a presentation cell. In addition, the method includes the step of identifying a second node based on the selected presentation cell. The method finally includes the step of presenting at least one presentation element associated with the second node at the presentation device.
