Project Details
- "XFR: Experiments in the Future of Reading is a museum installation that explores how reading might change in the near future."
- "For SIGGRAPH 2001 Emerging Technologies, Research on Experimental Documents (RED) Group exhibits three of eleven XFR experiments:"
- 1 - Listen Reader - preserving the tactile pleasure of reading paper-based books, this one is augmented with digital soundtracks that are activated by the sensed position of the reader's hands on a page
- 2 - Speeder Reader - using a new speed-reading protocol that presents text one word at a time, this exhibit allows visitors to moderate the speed of presentation with a speed racing/driving metaphor
- 3 - Tilty Tables - while reading is generally perceived as a low-energy, static, solitary, contemplative activity, RED wants visitors to think about how the body can be engaged in the act of reading, especially when reading large documents
