Information navigation on electronic devices

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors of a wearable computing device to perform operations comprising:

• outputting, for display by a presence-sensitive display of the wearable computing device, a first graphical user interface (GUI) of a first application, wherein the first application is included in a group of applications and the first GUI of the first application includes a first summary of first information at a first degree of specificity;
• receiving an indication of a first swipe input, the first swipe input being in a first direction and indicating a request to display a second GUI of the first application;
• responsive to receiving the first swipe input, outputting, for display by the presence-sensitive display, the second GUI of the first application in place of the first GUI of the first application, wherein the second GUI of the first application is different from the first GUI of the first application and the second GUI of the first application includes details of the first information at a second degree of specificity that is greater than the first degree of specificity;
• and
• receiving an indication of a second swipe input, the second swipe input being in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction and indicating a request to display a first GUI of a second application in the group of applications, wherein the second application in the group of applications is at least one of a next higher-ordered application or a next lower-ordered application in relation to an ordering of the first application in the group of applications:
• responsive to receiving the second swipe input:
• outputting, for display by the presence-sensitive display, the first GUI of the second application, wherein the first GUI of the second application includes a second summary of second information at the first degree of specificity;
• and
• removing, from display by the presence-sensitive display, the second GUI of the first application without outputting the first GUI of the first application for display subsequent to receiving the second swipe input.

A wearable computing device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a presence-sensitive display device;
• and
• at least one module operable by the at least one processor to:
• output, for display by the presence-sensitive display, a first graphical user interface (GUI) of a first application, wherein the first application is included in a group of applications and the first GUI of the first application includes a first summary of first information at a first degree of specificity;
• receive an indication of a first swipe input, the first swipe input being in a first direction and indicating a request to display a second GUI of the first application;
• responsive to receiving the first swipe input, output, for display by the presence-sensitive display, the second GUI of the first application in place of the first GUI of the first application, wherein the second GUI of the first application is different from the first GUI of the first application and the second GUI of the first application includes details of the first information at a second degree of specificity that is greater than the first degree of specificity;
• and
• receive an indication of a second swipe input, the second swipe input being in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction and indicating a request to display a first GUI of a second application in the group of applications, wherein the second application in the group of applications is at least one of a next higher-ordered application or a next lower-ordered application in relation to an ordering of the first application in the group of applications:
• responsive to receiving the second swipe input:
• output, for display by the presence-sensitive display, the first GUI of the second application, wherein the first GUI of the second application includes a second summary of second information at the first degree of specificity;
• and
• remove, from display by the presence-sensitive display, the second GUI of the first application without outputting the first GUI of the first application for display subsequent to receiving the second swipe input.
