Analysis of Gaze Time Spent at the Gazing Point that is Required During Reading

Abstract

This paper aims to clarify the lower limit of the gaze time required during reading by investigating at a display time of 98 msec or less using the visual information processing analyzer developed in the previous research. The image display range and display time at the point of gaze was controlled by moving the window in conjunction with the eye movement. As a result, it was found that normal reading, as if there were no window or visual field restriction, could not be performed with a display time of 42 msec or less, but that normal reading could be performed when sentences were displayed in a window of 7 characters at 56 msec. In this way, we believe we can obtain useful knowledge that is necessary for studying more effective methods of displaying text on electronic device.
