“…People are used to interacting with the text in the real world. However, as it is not always preferable to replicate a real-world scenario in VR [31], we believe that a text in VR should embrace the possibilities of VR. VR allows displaying text not only in a two-dimensional and static form but also in various threedimensional forms and with rich interaction possibilities.…”

Reading is a fundamental activity to obtain information both in the real and the digital world. Virtual reality (VR) allows novel approaches for users to view, read, and interact with a text. However, for efcient reading, it is necessary to understand how a text should be displayed in VR without impairing the VR experience. Therefore, we conducted a study with 18 participants to investigate text presentation type and location in VR. We compared world-fxed, edge-fxed, and head-fxed text locations. Texts were displayed using Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) or as a paragraph. We found that RSVP is a promising presentation type for reading short texts displayed in edge-fxed or head-fxed location in VR. The paragraph presentation type using world-fxed or edge-fxed location is promising for reading long text if movement in the virtual environment is not required. Insights from our study inform the design of reading interfaces for VR applications. CCS CONCEPTS• Human-centered computing → User studies; Virtual reality.
