Abstract

We introduce Streaming Thumbnails (STs), which combine RSVP displays and low-resolution thumbnails to enable reading complex documents in very limited areas. STs improve browsing because detailed textual information can be accessed from a thumbnail without viewing a document at full resolution. STs improve RSVP reading because they provide context and navigation control. Streaming Thumbnails are directly applicable for viewing documents and web pages on hand held PDAs.
