This is an interesting concept. You probably wouldn't want to read an ebook like this, but for short articles, news clips, weather and similar items, it would work well. Click on the link above to go to Human Factors' web site for a working demo and free source code.
Instead of a screen of information you occasionally thumb through, this flashes one word on the screen at a time at a user configurable speed using a technique called Rapid Serial Visual Presentation, or RSVP. This would be useful on a watch with a built in WiFi connection that could pull down stock quotes and news blurbs. Even the relatively small screen of a smartphone could benefit from this application. Source: Allen Smith
