Navigation Techniques for Dual-Display E-Book Readers
Existing e-book readers do not do a good job supporting numerous reviewing tasks that people do, as ethnographers report that when reading, people frequently review from numerous display surfaces. In this paper we offer our design of a dual-display e-book reader and explore how it can be used to interact with electronic papers. Our design supports embodied interactions like folding, flipping, and fanning for local/lightweight navigation.
We also show how mechanisms like Space Filling Thumbnails can use the enhanced display space to aid global navigation. Lastly, the detachable faces in our design can assist in inter-document operations and flexible layout of papers in the workspace. Semi-directed interviews with seven users found that dual-displays have the potential to improve the reading experience by supporting numerous local navigation tasks better than a single display device.
Users also identified numerous reading tasks for which the device would be useful. Users did not find the embodied interface particularly beneficial when reviewing in our controlled lab setting, however.
