Abstract
A system and method for facilitating user access to remote content from a current location is presented. The method comprises the following steps. An activation gesture is detected. The activation gesture includes a location. At least one base icon on the display screen located at a distance greater than a predetermined distance from the activation gesture's location is selected. A target icon for each selected base icon is generated. The target icons are output for display in proximity to the activation gesture's location until an action dismissing the target icons is detected.
