Introduction
One of the most popular equipment's at a gym is the treadmill. It is
obviously challenging to read text while running on a treadmill.
Thus, this study attempts to solve the problem by making the location of
the contents on a screen follow the joggers head movements, so that they
appear to be static in spite of vigorous movements.
This paper introduces the new system with an ability to constantly adjust
the location of contents on a display.
Objectives
The aim of this study is to develop a technique to help joggers read while
running on a treadmill.
Methodology
Experimental Measurement
System design and data Results
Set up analysis
Reading 10 participants
mate involved Anova
System design
10 students participated,
-all had normal vision ,
-able to read text on a computer screen,
-sufficient health to run on a treadmill without having problems.
The ages of the participants were between 18 and 29, average 23.8
The average distance between the monitor and the participants eyes was 61 cm
The wiimote was placed above the screen faced toward the human subjects.
Measured parameters
The mean elapsed time for experimental setting was 105.9 ms (SD=34.1).
This paper employed Anova test for display type for the 5 VAS
measurements: the measured values affected by display type. (next table)

Table 1. ANOVA results for the main effects of Display for subjective measures.
Display
Participants pointed out that small font sizes and narrow spacing between
lines made reading very difficult.
This research failed to find any significant effects of the two factors
(display and light) on reading speeds. RT/line.
Reading mate can be applied in shaky environments, such as in aviation
,construction and transportation.
