3D Attentional Maps: Aggregated Gaze Visualizations in Three-Dimensional Virtual Environments

July 2, 2022 by

by Sophie Stellmach, Lennart E Nacke, Raimund Dachselt
Abstract:
Gaze visualizations hold the potential to facilitate usability studies of interactive systems. However, visual gaze analysis in three- dimensional virtual environments still lacks methods and techniques for aggregating attentional representations. We propose three novel gaze visualizations for the application in such environments: projected, object-based, and surface-based attentional maps. These techniques provide an overview of how visual attention is distributed across a scene, among different models, and across a model’s surface. Two user studies conducted among eye tracking and visualization experts approve the high value of these techniques for the fast evaluation of eye tracking studies in virtual environments.
