Player UX Design

Overview

The PathMX player is a client-side UI for playing through a PathMX document in a focused way.

Goals

• Keep track of where the user is in the current document and persist that, they should never lose their place
• Provide "focus" controls, hiding distracting elements, vignettes, font-size adjustments, etc.
• Provide easy previous/next navigation
• Open links in a contextual "aside" view rather than navigating away
• Serve as a presentational teaching tool (kind of like slides) with a focus on readability and presentation
