Introduction In part 1 of user interfaces, I described the Air New Zealand in flight system using a browser based concept using cursor keys to move an on screen selector; a yellow rectangle. In part 2 we move on to the Virgin Atlantic system, which is more similar to DVD menu navigation or Flash based applications.
