Summary:This work-in-progress article describes a virtual reality (VR) app to assist in reading texts in an immersive environment. While reading is an essential part of learning, approximately 10 percent of students are estimated to have reading difficulties. Digital tools, such as Text-To-Speech (TTS), eye tracking, and VR, have successfully helped such students with reading. Full Concentration Reader, presented in this article, integrates these technologies to maximize their benefits. The software design, implementations, and preliminary experimental results about the effect of eye tracking-based reading guides on reading speed are described.
