Abstract
In video remote communication, the Gaze Cue, which visualizes the direction of a partner’s gaze, effectively enhances topic sharing by facilitating mutual gaze between users. However, since this Gaze Cue appears within the user’s field of view, viewers may feel obstructed by that. Additionally, when users want to share a topic, they promote topic sharing by verbally expressing their intentions, such as saying, “Look at that". In this study, assuming VR remote tourism, we experimented with a school tour experience. We examined the relationship between the speed of joint attention and the type of Gaze Cue switched in response to voice.
