Editing Scrolling (section)

== Studies ==
A 1993 article by George Fitzmaurice studied spatially aware [[palmtop computer]]s. These devices had a 3D sensor, and moving the device caused the contents to move as if the contents were fixed in place. This interaction could be referred to as “moving to scroll.” Also, if the user moved the device away from their body, they would zoom in; conversely, the device would zoom out if the user pulled the device closer to them. [[Smartphone]] [[camera]]s and “[[optical flow]]” image analysis utilize this technique nowadays.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Fitzmaurice|first=George W.|date=1993-07-01|title=Situated Information Spaces and Spatially Aware Palmtop Computers|journal=Commun.

A 1996 research paper by [[Jun Rekimoto]] analyzed tilting operations as scrolling techniques on small screen interfaces. Users could not only tilt to scroll, but also tilt to select menu items. These techniques proved especially useful for field workers, since they only needed to hold and control the device with one hand.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Rekimoto|first=Jun|chapter=Tilting operations for small screen interfaces |title=Proceedings of the 9th annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology - UIST '96|date=1996-01-01|location=New York, NY, USA|publisher=ACM|pages=167–168|doi=10.1145/237091.237115|isbn=978-0897917988|citeseerx=10.1.1.19.8330|s2cid=15104495}}</ref>

A study from 2013 by Selina Sharmin, Oleg Špakov, and Kari-Jouko Räihä explored the action of reading text on a screen while the text auto-scrolls based on the user's [[eye tracking]] patterns. The control group simply read text on a screen and manually scrolled. The study found that participants preferred to read primarily at the top of the screen, so the screen scrolled down whenever participants’ eyes began to look toward the bottom of the screen. This auto-scrolling caused no statistically significant difference in reading speed or performance.<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Sharmin|first1=Selina|last2=Špakov|first2=Oleg|last3=Räihä|first3=Kari-Jouko|title=Proceedings of the 2013 Conference on Eye Tracking South Africa |chapter=Reading on-screen text with gaze-based auto-scrolling |date=2013-01-01|series=ETSA '13|location=New York, NY, USA|publisher=ACM|pages=24–31|doi=10.1145/2509315.2509319|isbn=9781450321105|s2cid=18759763}}</ref>

A undated study occurring during or after 2010 by Dede Frederick, James Mohler, Mihaela Vorvoreanu, and Ronald Glotzbach noted that parallax scrolling "may cause certain people to experience nausea."<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Frederick|first=Dede|title=The Effects of Parallax Scrolling on User Experience in Web Design|journal=Journal of User Experience|volume=10|issue=2}}</ref>
