Abstract:
A system and method for generating and displaying text on a screen as an animated flow from a digital input of conventional text. The Invention divides text into short-scan lines of coherent semantic value that progressively animate from invisible to visible and back to invisible. Multiple line displays are frequent. The effect is aesthetically engaging, perceptually focusing, and cognitively immersive. The reader watches the text like watching a movie. The Invention may exist in whole or in part as a standalone application on a specific screen device. The Invention includes a manual authoring tool that allows the insertion of non-text media such as sound, image, and advertisements.
