Gaze Visualization for Immersive Video
نویسندگان
چکیده
In contrast to traditional video, immersive video allows viewers to interactively control their field of view in a 360ı panoramic scene. However, established methods for the comparative evaluation of gaze data for video require that all participants observe the same viewing area. We therefore propose new specialized visualizations and a novel visual analytics framework for the combined analysis of head movement and gaze data. A novel View Similarity visualization highlights viewing areas branching and joining over time, while three additional visualizations provide global and spatial context. These new visualizations, along with established gaze evaluation techniques, allow analysts to investigate the storytelling of immersive videos. We demonstrate the usefulness of our approach using head movement and gaze data recorded for both amateur panoramic videos, as well as professionally composited immersive videos.

متن کامل3D gaze point localization and visualization using LiDAR-based 3D reconstructions
We present a novel pipeline for localizing a free roaming eye tracker within a LiDAR-based 3D reconstructed scene with high levels of accuracy. By utilizing a combination of reconstruction algorithms that leverage the strengths of global versus local capture methods and user-assisted refinement, we reduce drift errors associated with Dense-SLAM techniques. Our framework supports regionof-intere...
متن کاملTransformed Social Interaction , Augmented Gaze , and Social Infl uence in Immersive Virtual Environments
Immersive collaborative virtual environments (CVEs) are simulations in which geographically separated individuals interact in a shared, three-dimensional, digital space using immersive virtual environment technology. Unlike videoconference technology, which transmits direct video streams, immersive CVEs accurately track movements of interactants and render them nearly simultaneously (i.e., in r...
متن کاملSimulation versus Reproduction for Avatar Eye-Gaze in Immersive Collaborative Virtual Environments
Using video technology in telecommunication systems poses spatial orientation problems because participants have a window onto each other’s space, rather than sharing one space. These problems can be overcome using immersive virtual reality in which remote participants are represented as avatars. Because of the challenges involved in capturing eyegaze reliably and problems of loss in transmissi...
متن کاملComparing Gaze-based and Manual Interaction in a Fast-paced Gaming Task in Virtual Reality
The idea of using gaze as an interaction modality has been put forward by the famous work of Bolt in 1981. In virtual reality (VR), gaze has been used for several means since then: view-dependent optimization of rendering, intelligent information visualization, reference communication in distributed telecommunication settings and object selection. Our own research aims at improving gaze-based i...
