A feature coming to the new Samsung Gear 2 smartwatch and Galaxy S5 smartphone could revolutionize how people read.
Called Spritz, the technology streams single words much faster than the average reading speed of 220 words per minute. Spritz highlights the “Optimal Recognition Point,” which is the point where the human brain recognized a word, and highlights it in red. Each word is displayed in the “Redicle” to keep the ORP in the exact same position, meaning the eyes don’t have to move from word to word as in traditional reading.
According to Spritz, the Boston-based company behind the technology, some users are “spritzing” at speeds of 1,000 words per minute, making it possible to read long novels in just a few hours. The company also claimed that reading with Spritz not only boosts speed, but increases reading comprehension.
