Literature suggests that it is possible to design and implement pen-based computer interfaces that resemble the use of pen and paper. These interfaces appear to allow users freedom in expressing ideas and seem to be familiar and easy to use. Different ideas have been put forward concerning this type of interface, however despite the commonality of aims and problems faced, there does not appear ...

This study evaluated the effects of age (20s and 60s), viewing distance (50 cm, 200 cm), display type (paper, monitor), font type (Gothic, Ming), colour contrast (black letters on white background, white letters on black background) and number of syllables (one, two) on the legibility of Korean characters by using the four legibility measures (minimum letter size for 100% correctness, maximum l...

PURPOSE Written Chinese contains an enormous number of characters with a wide range of spatial complexities. Consequently, the legibility of Chinese characters is expected to vary significantly, and this variability offers the challenge of deriving a simple visual function measurement for the Chinese reading population. The purpose of this study was to suggest a solution to the challenge throug...

It is well known that fluorescent traffic sign have a daytime conspicuity that is far superior to that of normal color signs. This study was conducted in order to test the hypothesis if adding the property of fluorescence while leaving all (or in practical terms most) other sign features the same, does in fact increase the legibility distance. Six diamond shaped signs were fabricated and lamina...

PURPOSE We performed an analysis of the smartphone legibility of the websites of the Korean Urological Association (KUA) and other urological societies. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study was conducted on the websites of the KUA and nine other urological societies. Each website was accessed via iPhone Safari and Android Chrome, respectively, to evaluate the establishment and readability of the ...
