Abstract
We assess the effectiveness of attention guidance cues in an educational platform in local high schools with real students. Three eye-tracked visual cues, previously assessed for their ability to guide and restore attention, are compared against a baseline absence of cue in a VR field trip of a virtual solar energy field. Students experienced four presentations on solar energy production including in-world animations and teacher imagery, in three of which the visual cues guided attention to the relevant object or teacher in the scene. Attention guidance using visual cues is commonly studied using “search and selection” style tasks, but has not been studied in the context of maintaining attention in real-world environments.

MOSion: Gaze Guidance with Motion-triggered Visual Cues by Mosaic Patterns
CHI '24: Proceedings of the 2024 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe propose a gaze-guiding method called MOSion to adjust the guiding strength reacted to observers’ motion based on a high-speed projector and the afterimage effect in the human vision system. Our method decomposes the target area into mosaic patterns ...
