Abstract
In VR remote tourism, where users can freely control where they look, gaze induction is necessary for presenting places and things the provider wants to show. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the visibility of gaze induction and the feeling of inhibition through two experiments. In the first experiment, the relationship between the strength of the guidance and the sense of inhibition was verified for gaze induction using Gaze Cue, which visualizes where the guide’s head is pointing, as a method of presenting eye gaze in a situation where a guide is attending locally. In the second experiment, we extended the method by placing an avatar in the absence of a local guide and verified the feasibility of gaze induction using the honeypot effect, in which gaze induction is performed unconsciously. The results showed that the following two methods of gaze induction, weak and natural gaze induction and emphasized gaze induction, were feasible. We obtained insight into the gaze induction method that is comfortable for the user and does not cause a feeling of inhibition.
