Abstract
A reading aid is provided for large documents or images on space-constrained touch-sensitive screens of devices, such as mobile phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs). A visual scrolling reference pattern such as a grid is projected over a document during scrolling operations on a touch screen. The scrolling reference pattern correlates information presented in different parts of large documents that are not visible at the same time.
