Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Assistive Technology
  • Low Vision Research

Background:

  • Screen magnification is crucial for individuals with low vision.
  • Understanding user interaction with magnification is key for improving accessibility.
  • Current magnification systems may not fully optimize user experience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare lens and full screen magnification for low vision users.
  • To investigate mouse control patterns during screen magnification.
  • To inform the design of adaptive magnification systems.

Main Methods:

  • 20 participants with low vision used lens and full magnification on laptops.
  • Participants read text and web page documents.
  • Mouse motion and gaze points were tracked and analyzed.

Main Results:

  • No significant differences in reading performance or subjective preference between magnification modes.
  • Lens mode resulted in more consistent mouse motion.
  • Full mode showed longer pauses and shorter path lengths in mouse movement.

Conclusions:

  • Both lens and full screen magnification are viable options for low vision users.
  • Mouse control strategies differ between magnification types.
  • Gaze analysis revealed preferred viewing areas in full screen mode.
