Abstract
In a method and system for navigating content, a plurality of content filter panels are provided in a user interface of an application for browsing and viewing media content. The content filter panels each contain at least one selectable filter for filtering media content items. A direction of movement of a navigation indicator within an active content filter panel is determined, with the navigation indicator being controlled by a user. Based on a determination of a movement direction of the navigation indicator in a first axis, the active content filter panel is switched from a first content filter panel to a second content filter panel. Based on a determination of a movement direction of the navigation indicator in a second axis, the media content items are filtered according to a selectable filter of the active content filter panel selected by the navigation indicator. At least one of the filtered media content items is caused to be displayed in the user interface.
