A real-time visual tracking technique for mobile display stabilization

Mobile devices can cause visual discomfort and even injuries to the eyes owing to shaking and vibration. In this study, we aim to develop a real-time visual tracking technique for mobile display stabilization in order to provide users with a comfortable interaction experience and reduce the hurt caused by screen vibration. The workflow of this mechanism includes tracking the motion of the mobile device, predicting the displacement of the device, and adjusting the position of the display area to compensate for vibrations. We validated the proposed anti-shake mechanism using the tumbling E eye examination and subjective 10-point scale questionnaire. Experimental results revealed that the proposed mechanism successfully reduced sight discomfort during motion, such as taking the Taipei MRT.
