Although tabular displays are an efficient and effective means to display information there are a number of problems in displaying tables in mobile devices. Small, hand-held mobile devices lack screen space, and this can be a serious handicap in their efficient use (Brewster, Leplatre and Crease, 1998). If the device must be small and the screen must fit the device, text will necessarily be sma...

Soon many people will retrieve information from the Web using handheld, palmsized or even smaller computers. Although these computers have dramatically increased in sophistication, their display size is – and will remain – much smaller than their conventional, desktop counterparts. Currently, browsers for these devices present web pages without taking account of the very different display capab...

Four experiments were conducted to test whether recent developments in display technology would suffice to eliminate the well-known disadvantages in reading from screen as compared with paper. Proofreading speed and performance were equal for a TFT-LCD and a paper display, but there were more symptoms of eyestrain in the screen condition accompanied by a strong preference for paper (Experiment ...

isually impaired people (VIP) have difficulty interacting with computer systems that present the majority of their output visually. VIP who have no functional sight can use screen readers— assistive programs that present the visual output as speech or that drive refreshable Braille displays. 1 The most widespread example of such software is Microsoft Narrator, a screen reader that ships with Wi...

This paper presents HoloVizio true 3D display technology, and its real life implementations, the HoloVizio display models from Holografika. Our patented technology uses a specially arranged array of optical modules and a holographic screen. Each point of the holographic screen emits light beams of different color and intensity to various directions. The light beams generated in the optical modu...

Small-screen devices such as mobile phones are increasingly pervasive. Reduced screen areas compromise the ease-of-use of such devices, and consequently, a concern for system designers becomes the maximization of available screen space. On large-screen displays, menus can overlap and obscure others, and be displayed simultaneously to the user. This is generally not the case with small screens: ...

Omni-directional locomotion systems are yet of little advantage in virtual environments (VEs) with limited large display system, where users may experience visualless situations when they move in a direction that is not covered by the large screen. This paper presents a new omni-directional locomotion interface based on step-inplace movement and a smart-turntable system to impart users with the...

We describe a tiled-projection display system whose entire image is composed of twenty four patches of projection, sixteen of which are used for front projection and eight of which are used for rear projection on the center area of the screen. Eight pairs of the projectors are used to project stereoscopic images, the left-eye image and the right-eye image. The screen consists of differently sha...

This paper presents a multi-touch system using vision-based algorithms that takes advantage of specular surfaces to detect and track finger locations with multiple cameras. The key innovation of the MirrorTrack approach is that by mounting cameras at a low azimuth to the horizontal display surface, the screen approaches a perfect mirror. Hence, we are able to track the user’s fingers together w...
