Reading tilted: Does the use of tablets impact performance? An oculometric study

作者：

Highlights：

• We studied the impact of a tilt of the head or of a tablet on reading behavior.

• Subjects read several texts while their eye movements were recorded.

• No effect of a 10° tilt was shown, the readers adapted to this postural situation.

• Cyclotorsional eye movements were measured with and without tilt.

• Cyclotorsion could lessen the difference of rotation between the head and the tablet, whichever one is tilted.
