Speed Read While Driving?

One of the ways to “steal” time catching up with all those outstanding readings is to read while commuting. Unfortunately, you’re out of luck if you drive.

Pasta and vinegar reported an interesting project from The Reading Lab called Speeder Reader.

It says,

Speeder Reader gives you a gas pedal to control your rate of speed-reading and a steering wheel to navigate between streams of text. You can also jump forward or backwards in the text (by sentence, paragraph, or chapter).

In Western culture, the act of driving is very personally empowering (just like reading!). By combining the driving interface with dynamic text, we’re offering a model of reading as a medium that gets you places.

I’d sure like to see the technology available to the masses. I could read Harry Potter on the way to the gym.
