Controls orbit the sun on live auto-rotating rings, icons staying upright. Hover to pause. The metaphor is the app.
Flush flat-top honeycomb, the Apple-TV pick: selecting a tile swaps the ring to its sub-options in place; clean D-pad nav.
A still astrolabe pie wheel: angular wedges around a sun hub with rim ticks. Crisp wedge focus.
A rotary ring you spin with momentum; whichever node snaps into the top slot is the active control.
The conventional control: a slim always-visible dock along the bottom edge. Frees both corners.
The sun is the hub: bloom controls radially, then the ring replaces in place with sub-options. Flick the sun to select fast.
The mobile fallback: a narrowed upward arc; selecting a primary replaces the arc in place with its sub-options.
