MyReader: book-to-scroll
Rather read a book in a news-ticker horizontal scroll, a vertical movie-credit-style, or like flash-cards, one word at a time? New Zealand company Pulse Data created the MyReader, a sight-aid device which turns a page of writing into a variety of moving or static formats using a 15inch LCD display and 45x magnification. Pulse Data's been showing it at Sight Village, an exhibition of technology for blind and partially sighted persons. So let's see, if you started the new Bill Clinton biography today, in flash-card style that might take a Clinton term-length to get through all 900+ pages.
