GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR NON-FOVEAL VISION

摘要

A device may be configured to provide a graphical user interface that is specifically designed for use in a person's non-foveal vision. Via a graphical user interface for non-foveal vision, a user may interact with the device without focusing his or her foveal vision on a touchscreen of the device. Thus, the user may operate the device and its applications entirely and exclusively without using his or her foveal vision. For example, the user may operate the device exclusively using his or her peripheral vision or using no vision whatsoever.
