Abstract: A content presentation system implemented as a web browser, electronic book reader, etc., can initiate multi-dimensional auto-scroll movement in response to a single instance of user input (e.g., a gesture on a touchscreen). Once initiated, such a system can move visual information in more than one dimension, without further user input, to present content to a user. For example, a content presentation system can move visual information from right to left across a display area and, when the right end of the text has been reached, shift the visual information vertically, return to a starting horizontal alignment, and begin the right to left movement again, thereby performing movement that mimics left-to-right, top-to-bottom movement of human eyes, as would occur when reading text in many languages, such as English. A user can engage, accelerate, decelerate, and disengage multi-dimensional auto-scrolling, and set limits on scrolling ranges to focus on important content.
