A system includes a processor, a display device, an input device and a memory with an application executable on the processor. The display device has a display frame of reference with an origin, in which the display device displays an object with the origin contained within the object. The object includes an object start point and the frame of reference includes a predetermined target point. In a user rotation mode the display device shows at least one rotation indicator, where one of multiple axes is associated to the rotation indicator. The object start point is indicated by a location on the rotation indicator. The input device selects the location on the rotation indicator and the processor in turn rotates the object to a new orientation by rotating the object about the associated axis to align the object start point with the target point.

A user device may provide a graphical user interface which presents content navigation objects, where each content navigation object may be associated with a content item and is presented within a portion of the graphical user interface. The user device may detect an action that corresponds to a content navigation object, and determine whether the detected action is a command to display content options that may be contextually related to the content item associated with the content navigation object. The user device may display the content options by altering the appearance of the content navigation object, receive an action selecting the content option from the displayed content options, and conceal the content options after the action for selecting the content option has been received.
