ReadingMate: an infrared-camera-based content stabilization technique to help joggers read while running on a treadmill

Abstract: Though reading could be a useful activity while a jogger runs on a treadmill, reading while running can be quite tiresome. In order to alleviate this difficulty, we developed a content stabilization technique, called ""ReadingMate,"" using head-tracking to track the location of the jogger's head/eyes and relocate the position of the contents on a screen, so that the contents appear to be stabilized. We conducted an experiment with ten participants, and eight out of ten reported positive experiences in using ReadingMate. Thus, ReadingMate could be a potential solution for joggers who would like to read while running, and possible future work is also discussed.
