About
Ev News has been developed by Royal Holloway University to help people with macular degeneration read news articles more easily. It was designed to support the use of reading using the eccentric viewing technique, whereby the reader holds their gaze slightly away from text scrolling right-to-left like a newsfeed.
Get started
Simply select one of the news channels and then try reading the text while looking above or below the line.
The speed and direction of scrolling is controlled by your mouse or track-pad. The settings wheel allows you to choose fonts, size and colours (black on yellow is a popular choice).
