Abstract:
In this paper, we report on an experiment to determine the minimum field of view that permits the user to perform an effective search task in a 3D virtual environment, by analyzing how the user controls the virtual camera. Our study exploits a model based on the use of several novel non-intrusive temporal and quantitative measures of visual attention, such as: fixation, gaze, and movement. Seven out of ten measures gave significant results with the same findings.
