Low Vision Reading with Electronic Display
<

a sentance going right to left across a TV screen to compaire against the reading rate of normal page format    The effects of presentation format of text on electronic magnifiers were evaluated for reading by low-vision patients. 

    Reading rates for text scrolled from right to left across the screen were compared with text presented in normal page format, text presented in vertical scroll mode, and text presented one word after the other in the same place. 

    Patient eye movements were recorded to analyze the interactions between the display format and eye movement control. These studies will provide guidelines for developers of new electronic reading aids for the visually impaired.
