I went with the standard navigation (move the mouse and the carousel spins), but it's certainly possible to implement something that would be less likely to cause problems for people, such as the button-type navigation Amazon.com has used in the past, where a click rotates only one carousel element at a time. I think this would be fairly easy to implement in the example from my book - the navigation is relatively compartmentalized. Jeff Hi Ken -

Unfortunately, for those of us who are susceptible, a rotating control like that can set off an episode of kinetosis (aka simulation sickness or motion sickness). This problem afflicts 1/3 to 1/2 of the populations, so keep an alternative UI in mind? A carousel is an interesting concept.
