小型动画显示器，如自动收报机和推子，越来越多地被用来在计算机屏幕上传达信息。然而，人们对它们作为外围显示器的使用知之甚少，也就是说，它们是向人们传达低优先级意识信息的工具。本文介绍了两个实验，研究沟通能力与分心的权衡在周边显示。我们发现，动画文本周边显示的存在并没有分散人们从中央信息浏览任务，我们确定了特定的动画和显示特性，促进不同的信息为中心的任务。
Small animated displays such as tickers and faders are increasingly being used to convey information on computer screens. Relatively little is understood, however, about their use as peripheral displays, that is, tools for communicating lower-priority awareness information to people. This article describes two experiments that examine the tradeoff of communication capability versus distraction in peripheral displays. We found that the presence of animated textual peripheral displays did not distract people from a central information browsing task, and we identified particular animation and display characteristics that facilitate different information-centric tasks.
