Abstract
Augmented Reality (AR) provides real-time information by super-imposing virtual information onto users' view of the real world. Our work is the first to explore how peripheral vision, instead of central vision, can be used to read text on AR and smart glasses. We present PeriText+, a multiword reading interface using rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP). This enables users to observe the real world using central vision, while using peripheral vision to read text. We conducted a lab study to compare reading efficiency among 40 different conditions of text transformation. We also conducted a field study to evaluate the information transfer while using PeriText+ in a real-world walking scenario.
