FUTURE OF
DIGITAL READING

PEOPLE READ VERY OFTEN
@TOMBOUDA DIGITAL READING

TRENDS AND SCENARIOS OF
DIGITAL READING
Process of Horizon scanning (Brown, 2007)
• Desk research
• Analysis of social media (Twitter)
• Qualitative analysis of records
• Identification of future trends and scenarios

DESK RESEARCH

DIGITAL READING BEHAVIOR
Scanning, browsing, keyword spotting, one-
time reading, non-linear reading
We read selectively and not in depth.

COGNITIVE ASPECT OF READING
Cognitive aspect Paper Digital medium
Accuracy and speed 1 0
Comprehension 1 0
Remembering and
learning
1 0
Stress and exhaustion 1 0

TACTILE EXPERIENCE
Touch experience helps construct our
mental models of text.
Mental models support navigation and
orientation within a text.

EMERGING
TECHNOLOGIES

ALGORITHMIC CURATION AND
SOCIAL COMPUTING
Big data and algorithmic curation influence what do we
read.

PERSONALIZED MAGAZINES
Digital curation within beautiful magazine-like interface

FAST READING TECHNOLOGIES
Wearables, Spritz

SPRITZ
• Bad information
processing
• Less control
• Text flow
• High level of attention

BLUE VIOLET LIGHT
Filters and screen films decrease readability.

POSSIBLE TRENDS

Tactile experience technology will be
implemented into reading apps.

SMART E-BOOK INTERFACE PROTOTYPE
Resource: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVyBwz1-AiE

Flipboard-based interface might be
used as a reading interface for blogs
and other social media.

Reading from wearables will be realized
using text flow and speech synthesis.

CONCLUSION
• No innovative breakthrough technology.
• No astonishing reading experience.
• Technology evolution seems to bridge the gap
between print and digital.
• Need of more research.
