Enhancing Document Navigation Tasks With a Dual- Display Electronic Reader

Abstract

We present a prototype dual-display e-book reader that is designed to improve the electronic reading experience. Our device uses lightweight embodied interactions to support unselfconscious local navigation. We incorporate mechanisms such as Space Filling Thumbnails, which take advantage of the increased display space on our device to aid global navigation. To accommodate the need for cross document operations and flexible layout of documents in the workspace, our prototype provides detachable faces that can operate independently.
