To investigate whether the vanishing point (VP) plays a significant role in gaze guidance, we ran two experiments. In the first one, we recorded fixations of 10 observers (4 female; mean age 22; SD=0.84) freely viewing 532 images, out of…
We introduce to VR a novel imperceptible gaze guidance technique from a recent discovery that human gaze can be attracted to a cue that contrasts from the background in its perceptually non-distinctive ocularity, defined as the relative…
Eye gaze controlled interfaces allow us to directly manipulate a graphical user interface just by looking at it. This technology has great potential in military aviation, in particular, operating different displays in situations where…
Many augmented reality (AR) applications operate within near-field reaching distances, and require matching the depth of a virtual object with a real object. The accuracy of this matching was measured in three experiments, which examined…
Visual relationship detection aims to locate objects in images and recognize the relationships between objects. Traditional methods treat all observed relationships in an image equally, which causes a relatively poor performance in the…
Understanding cross-subject and cross-device consistency in visual fixation prediction is essential for advancing eye-tracking applications, including visual attention modeling and neuroprosthetics. This study evaluates fixation consistency…
