<p>Regarding the scope of condition (1) "starts automatically" as it relates to user interactions: for the animated information to start on a change of focus is considered automatic. For the animated information to start on pointer hover, scrolling the page, or on changing the setting of a user interface component is not considered automatic.

stationary text quickly as well as anyone who has trouble tracking moving objects.
