In recently proposed saccade-based information displays, the observer cannot see an afterimage without moving the eyes appropriately and therefore often cannot see the afterimage correctly. We propose a new display system based on a concise saccade detection technique and the perceptual features of eye movement. In addition, with a system consisting of a wearable sensor (saccade detector) and a ubiquitous display (saccade-based display), we propose an application where many viewers can be accommodated simultaneously (Several viewers can view an image simultaneously (timesharing) with one saccade-based display.) and independently (Several viewers can view different images with one saccade-based display.). In experiments, we compared character-recognition rates to confirm that the detection of the saccade improves the visibility of the saccade-based display. The results indicate that the recognition rate is clearly improved.
