Rapid, Serial and Visual: A Presentation Technique with Potential

Correspondence: Robert Spence, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Imperial College, Exhibition Road, London SW7 2BT, U.K. Tel: 0207 594 6259; Fax: 0207 581 4419; E-mail: r.spence@ic.ac.uk Abstract This commentary addresses the recently exploited presentation technique called Rapid Serial Visual Presentation, or RSVP, and identifies a number of applications. It describes a number of different RSVP modes, discusses potentially attractive features and reports the results of experimental investigations. Some of the many issues requiring further research are identified Information Visualization (2002) 1, 13 – 19. DOI: 10.1057/palgrave/ivs/9500008
