==Navigation== {{See also|Human–computer interaction}} [[File:Example of Picture style menu.jpg|left|thumb|Pictorial menu for a digital camera]] A user chooses an option from a menu by using an [[input device]]. Some input methods require linear navigation: the user must move a cursor or otherwise pass from one menu item to another until reaching the selection. On a [[computer terminal]], a [[reverse video]] bar may serve as the cursor. [[Touch user interface]]s and menus that accept codes to select menu options without navigation are two examples of non-linear interfaces. Some of the input devices used in menu interfaces are [[touchscreen]]s, [[computer keyboard|keyboard]]s, [[computer mouse|mice]], [[remote control]]s, and microphones. In a voice-activated system, such as [[interactive voice response]], a microphone sends a recording of the user's voice to a [[speech recognition]] system, which translates it to a command.
