Very cool insight in emphasizing the "important" parts of the words. For me at least, it seems to have worked - it felt like less effort to glide over the paragraph of text and take in the content.
As far as it becoming a product.. I'm sorry, but people will immediately rip this off. Someone will make a free browser extension, or add this to an existing one like Outline / Mercury Reader / etc. To enforce patents you have to have money to pay the lawyers, so for small fry they're kind of useless.
Very cool idea all the same, and I would love to see this embedded in anything that displays text.
