Authors: Seina Kobayashi, Kei Kanari, Mie Sato

Abstract

This study focused on font type and weight and we examined their effects on the readability of long texts in VR. In the experiment, we changed the font weight of three font types, Gothic, Mincho and Antigothic, to evaluate the readability of text with a length of 600 characters. Our results showed a tendency for Antigothic to be more readable and less fatiguing than Mincho and Gothic.
