Psychophysical research on text legibility has historically investigated factors such as size, colour and contrast, but there has been relatively little direct empirical evaluation of typographic design itself, particularly in the emerging context of glance reading. In the present study, participants performed a lexical decision task controlled by an adaptive staircase method. Two typefaces, a ...

This research compares legible of sentences displayed in the paper media and a browser, and examines whether there is a difference legibly of sentences by the experiment. When the result was considered, we considered an individual characteristic of the subject. We considered the problem when sentences displayed in a browser were read, and considered the improvement idea to the problem. Next, we...

The role of two different layouts of school furniture was investigated in the pattern legibility and spatial-temporal parameters of a graphic skill acquisition. Thirty children from the first grade of elementary school (mean age = 6 years) practiced a graphic task according to a criterion figure. They were assigned to two groups, Group of Fixed School Desk (GF) and Group with Adjustable School ...

Modern interfaces increasingly rely on screens filled with digital text to display information to users. Previous research has shown that even relatively subtle differences in the design of the on-screen typeface can influence to-device glance time in a measurable and meaningful way (Reimer et al., 2014). Here we outline a methodology for rapidly and flexibly investigating the legibility of typ...

Text elision is a user interface technique that aims to improve the efficiency of navigating through information by allowing regions of text to be ‘folded’ into and out of the display. Several researchers have argued that elision interfaces are particularly suited to source code editing because they allow programmers to focus on relevant code regions while suppressing the display of irrelevant ...

This paper describes the COCO-Text dataset. In recent years large-scale datasets like SUN and Imagenet drove the advancement of scene understanding and object recognition. The goal of COCO-Text is to advance state-of-the-art in text detection and recognition in natural images. The dataset is based on the MS COCO dataset, which contains images of complex everyday scenes. The images were not coll...

In this study, legibility of web pages which are designed for instructional purposes were compared according to font types and foreground/background color combinations. Three different font styles which are sans-serif (Verdana), serif (Times New Roman) and monotype (Courier New) were used. 15 background/foreground color combinations were investigated; basic colors that are available on most bro...

Background: Nautical chart is a kind of map used to describe the seafloor morphology and shoreline of adjacent land. The principle purpose of nautical chart is to provide necessary information to ensure safety and efficiency of navigation [1]. As a consequence, construction of a nautical chart follows very specific rules. On one hand, the depth indicated at a point of the map must never be deep...
