reading with a moverio or other e-reader on a crowded subway or bus
One advantage of the Moverio is that you can read with both hands free in a very crowded place -- like a crowded subway or bus! Has anyone tried it? One of the disadvantages reading on most subways or buses -- or the back seat of a car -- is vibration. If you are holding your e-reader in your hands -- your hands will be vibrating -- or just moving in a way that makes reading more difficult. If the image is fixed to your head -- like the Moverio , maybe there is so little relative vibration that it is good for reading in a place where there is not only not enough space, but lots of vibration. If the image is set at "infinity", the vibrations will have even less effect. I discovered the "virtual swing" effect while testing the Personal Reader concept to see how it was influenced by vibration -- riding in the back seat of a car or on the New York Subway --- which is not the smoothest in the world!
