I often get confused when reading a novel with many
characters and can't remember who is who. This never
happens with a TV series or comic book. The difference is that
I am really, really terrible at remembering names, but can
always recognize a face. So the idea is to have a little portrait
of a person show up whenever you hover over their name.
This would be useful in news articles as well.
Maybe this could help with voice recognition...

There is a saying that "all dictators are ugly" but too many people forget that without their face in an old newspaper [+] |

In reverse, I get confused with a movie that has too many characters coming and going, so we could put a name plate over them, too? + |

Hello, [summerstay]! Welcome out of your lurk-shell! |

I would like this. When I pick up a new book, I usually
start out at a point about 2/3 of the way through,
and go not-to-the-end. Then I can re-start at the
beginning, and know which names I need to
remember. |

I'm not sure I understand the idea... is the book supposed to sense when you're "hovering" ? |
|

Need this. Names and dates just don't stick. |

I was thinking lenticular printing, but that'd make for rather thick pages. |
