Combine this with eye tracking for a page of text that grows just the words or figures you're looking at. You could display a larger page on a smaller one. E.g. show a multi page newspaper section on a single page, illegibly small until you focus on a particular headline. As you focus on that its teaser becomes visible, then the leading paragraph, etc.
You could display a link that when you look at it, it grows and resolves into its own content, recursively. Surf links by zooming in. The back button zooms out. It could be a natural way to navigate a graph of text.
- Nydhal 7y agoVery interesting! wouldn't just scrolling (in 2D) suffice instead of costly eye-tracking? also localized zooming is can be approximated by displaying but on a curved surface.
- sansnomme 7y agoSomething similar to this was done for early iPhone keyboards; not all touchscreen buttons were the same size.
- clhodapp 7y agoCouldn't you achieve this with any font by rendering in higher resolution, downscaling to the size of the screen, and then having a "magnification" box follow your eyes around?
- rahimnathwani 7y agoThis would be a great feature for GoodReader or another iPad PDF reader. You wouldn't even need eye tracking: just magnify two inches above and to the left of my finger.
- knolax 7y agoSounds disorienting.
- Iv 7y agoIf you ever do that, word from someone who worked on AR: have a very fast system to do the eye tracking (and the subsequent compositing), use cameras that are faster than 60 fps because no one will want a system that takes 16 ms to react to eye movements.
- m463 7y agoI imagine it will be like the mac os X dock magnification setting.
