display area or holding down a key to get the full story more than just the item shown in most cases the user can select the item or the headline the automatic transitioning between items can be done in a number of ways for example the browser could rotate through the items fading out one and fading in another one way to do this is to have the current item in one layer the next item on another layer with the next item 39 s layer being transparent and on top of the current layer and gradually increase the opacity of the next item 39 s layer alternatively the current layer might be opaque and on top with that layer gradually becoming more transparent in some cases where the items contain media that take time to display the rotation of a current item out and a next item in might be tied to when the current item is done displaying such as beginning the transition shortly after the current item is done playing where controls are provided to control the playing of media such as rewind pause and fast forward the user might control when the rotation occurs in any case the browser should delay enough to allow for comfortable reading of the text presented and present a visual and or audio cue that a transition is to begin when the display transitions from one item to another the visual cues such as visual cue 408 would change to the now current item the order of rotation can be random or defined.
