Analysis of Gaze on Comic Book Panel Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Comics have been shown to be able to tell a story by guiding the viewers gaze patterns through a sequence of images. However, not much research has been done on how comic techniques affect these patterns. We focused this study to investigate the effect that the structure of a comics panels have on the viewers reading patterns, specifically with the time spent reading the comic and the number of times the viewer fixates on a point. We use two versions of a short comic as a stimulus, one version with four long panels and another with sixteen smaller panels. We collected data using the GazePoint eye tracker, focusing on viewing time and number of fixations, and we collected subjective information about the viewers preferences using a questionnaire. We found that no significant effect between panel structure and viewing time or number of fixations, but those viewers slightly tended to prefer the format of four long panels.
