움직이는 글자의 가독성 평가에 관한 연구 = A Study on the Legibility of Moving Texts

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Many studies on text legibility have been performed. However they focused on static texts, in situations where readers and texts were not moving. There are many cases in our real life that people have to read moving texts or moving people have to read static texts. This research investigated the legibility of moving English texts with Heletaca font. Text legibility was examined in various experimental conditions; 4 stroke-width ratios, 3 moving distances, 3 spaces between letters and 4 angular velocities. The legibility of texts was measured with the percentage of correct reading. The legibility of moving texts increased with moving distance increase, stroke-width ratio increase, increase of the space between letters and angular velocity decrease. There were interaction effects between weight and angular velocity and between angular velocity and the space between letters. The results of this research can be used as guidelines for the font design of information display where displayed text should be moved
