Information is accessed by playing tiles, which open text files or any multimedia file, in the media player. Tiles are accessed from the tile scroller of the NE, and appear when the tile scroller of an active NE is open. The scroller contains all the tiles in the NE and provides easy access to each.
The scroller unfolds from the bottom gold bar on the active NE, and all the tiles in the NE hang below the scroller. Although all tiles have the same shape, they can be distinguished quickly in two ways.
•
The information style is engraved on the tile: the scroller above contains two video tiles (#1 and #5), one image tile (#2), two text tiles (#3 and #6) and one audio tile (#4).
•
When you mouse over a tile, the tile's name appears at the bottom of the room. When the scroller is open you can play any of its tiles in the media player, without regard to its medium.
