Abstract
An experiment was conducted on the ease with which a car navigation system could be read by elderly, middle-aged and young people. 127 subjects (19-76 years of age) evaluated ease of reading of the displayed characters. The experiment evaluated characters displayed on a liquid crystal display (LCD) similar to those used in car navigation systems, and evaluated readability in 9 stages. Five character sizes for traffic terms and two languages (Japanese and English) were used in the experiment. The experiment was conducted with the LCD in 2 positions: directly in front of the subject and diagonal to the left (about 30 degrees). The results showed that the directly frontward position was significantly more readable than the position of diagonal to the left. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
