1. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium encoded with processing instructions configured to be executed by a processor to cause the processor to:
display, during a first time period, a first level of a hierarchical menu via an interactive display, the first level of the hierarchical menu including a menu cell associated with a second level of the hierarchical menu, a cursor disposed within the first level of the hierarchical menu during the first time period;
receive, during a second time period after the first time period, an indication of the cursor, still disposed within the first level of the hierarchical menu, moving towards the menu cell; and
display, during the second time period, a preview of the second level of the hierarchical menu extending over the first level of the hierarchical menu and towards the cursor, a size of the preview increasing as the cursor moves towards the menu cell.
