ABSTRACT
Head-mounted displays (HMDs) that use a see-through display method allow for superimposing computer-generated images upon a real-world view. Such devices, however, normally restrict the user's field of view. Furthermore, low display resolution and display curvature are suspected to make foveal as well as peripheral vision more difficult and may thus affect visual processing. In order to evaluate this assumption, we compared performance and eye-movement patterns in a visual search paradigm under different viewing conditions: participants either wore an HMD, had their field of view restricted by blinders or could avail themselves of an unrestricted field of view (normal viewing). From the head and eye-movement recordings we calculated the contribution of eye rotation to lateral shifts of attention. Results show that wearing an HMD leads to less eye rotation and requires more head movements than under blinders conditions and during normal viewing.

Advantages of eye-gaze over head-gaze-based selection in virtual and augmented reality under varying field of views
COGAIN '18: Proceedings of the Workshop on Communication by Gaze InteractionThe current best practice for hands-free selection using Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) head-mounted displays is to use head-gaze for aiming and dwell-time or clicking for triggering the selection. There is an observable trend for new VR and AR ...
Advantage of Gaze-Only Content Browsing in VR using Cumulative Dwell Time Compared to Hand Controller
SUI '23: Proceedings of the 2023 ACM Symposium on Spatial User InteractionHead-mounted displays(HMDs) are expected to be used as daily devices. Developing interfaces to control contents projected in a head-mounted display (HMD) is key to leading the spread of HMD usage. With the need for a new interface of the HMD, gaze ...
Using a large projection screen as an alternative to head-mounted displays for virtual environments
CHI '00: Proceedings of the SIGCHI conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsHead-mounted displays for virtual environments facilitate an immersive experience that seems more real than an experience provided by a desk-top monitor [18]; however, the cost of head-mounted displays can prohibit their use. An empirical study was ...
