Also known as: Filmstrip Navigation, Scrolling Menu
What
Show thumbnail images of items on a scrolling menu, which allows users to browse through them.
Example image
iTunes Store - Scroll through new releases.
Use when
- Users can recognize the item they need by seeing a thumbnail of it.
- There is not enough space to show all items at the same time
- You want to let the user concentrate his attention only on a smaller set of items at a time.
Why
- Saves screen real estate.
- Simplifies the UI, as only small set of items is shown at time.
- It is very dynamic and fun to use for some users.
