Users' experience viewing video lectures on phones for learning while walking is suboptimal. We explored how smart glasses, with its heads-up, see-through viewability, and hands-free access, can better facilitate learning from videos while walking than phones. We developed a video presentation style called Layered Serial Visual Presentation (LSVP) to enable learning on smart glasses. As opposed to phones, videos adapted into LSVP on smart glasses improved recall while allowing faster walking speed, especially during complex navigation scenarios.
