The XrossMediaBar (pronounced CrossMediaBar and officially abbreviated as XMB) is a graphical user interface developed by Sony Computer Entertainment. The interface features icons that are spread horizontally across the screen. Navigation moves the icons, instead of a cursor. These icons are used as categories to organize the options available to the user. When an icon is selected on the horizontal bar, several more appear vertically, above and below it (selectable by the up and down directions on a directional pad). A thing that defines a good interface, in my humble opinion, apart from the system beeing intuitively logical, is when you enjoy yourself just “browsing around” in the menu system. Pure joy is what I feel when I navigate in the XMB ( ok, a little exaggeration there but almost : ). As an interaction designer I have been interested to script my own AS3 version of the XMB, just to understand how to program such a menusystem. An interactive example to be posted when time is on my side.
