Lean and Zoom (Chris Harrison, Anind Dey) - CHI '07
Loading...
Uploaded by chrisharrisoncmu on Feb 17, 2008
The size and resolution of computer displays has increased dramatically, allowing more information than ever to be rendered on-screen. However, items can now be so small or screens so cluttered that users need to lean forward to properly examine them. This behavior may be detrimental to a user's posture and eyesight. Our Lean and Zoom system detects a user's proximity to the display using a camera and magnifies the on-screen content proportionally. This alleviates dramatic leaning and makes items more readable. Results from a user study indicate people find the technique natural and intuitive. Most participants found on-screen content easier to read, and believed the technique would improve both their performance and comfort.

so you've pretty much automated a pre existing function
Ctrl + mouse wheel...(zoom)
..cool enough..
but tbh imo...people should stop using bloody latops...and rather use desktops if they have the option to...(i.e setting up a correctly heightened monitor does the trick to eradicating the need to lean) ...way to many people spend double the money/cost on Laptops over desktops..funny thing is...they never buy the laptops cause they need to...half the time its a fasion statement

could you also include a mode where the text will always remain at the same perceived zoom scale, independent of the user's distance from the screen? that way, a user could change position in a room but continue to use a display without reconfiguring or moving it.
very exciting!

beautiful. can you make the zoom smooth? also, integrating this with your head tracking, you could make text rotate and zoom to match the user's posture (for example, if i get tired and lay my head down but still want to read).
