Paper Abstract:
|
This study examines using Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP), a method for displaying the words in a text rapidly
in a sequence, as a method to present text based content on mobile phones. A prototype for reading RSS-based content
was developed and tested. The study was conducted in two parts. The first part was an experiment study, where
university students read educational material, after which multiple-choice questions were answered in order to measure
readability and comprehensibility. The second part was an observation study where the software was available for
download by anyone, and where the usage of the predominantly news based content was logged. The results from the
experiment indicate what previous studies of RSVP on computer screens have show, namely that reading speed and
comprehensibility is high, but that users are uncomfortable with the technique. The results from the observation study
showed that even among users used to read content on mobile phones, relatively few choose to use RSVP on a frequent
basis. |
