Abstract:
An exemplary method includes a user interface navigation assistance system detecting user input representative of an impending selection of a button of a remote control device associated with a media content processing device while a navigable user interface is being displayed by the media content processing device on a display screen, determining a current position of a selector object within the navigable user interface, and providing, based on the current position of the selector object, audio feedback that indicates an action that will occur if the user selects the button of the remote control device while the selector object is in the current position. Corresponding methods and systems are also disclosed.
