Exploring the Effect of Visual Cues on Eye Gaze During AR-Guided Picking and Assembly Tasks
In this paper, we present an analysis of eye gaze patterns pertaining to visual cues in augmented reality (AR) for head-mounted displays (HMDs). We conducted an experimental study involving a picking and assembly task, which was guided by different visual cues. We compare these visual cues along multiple dimensions (in-view vs. out-of-view, static vs. dynamic, sequential vs. simultaneous) and analyze quantitative metrics such as gaze distribution, gaze duration, and gaze path distance. Our results indicate that visual cues in AR significantly affect eye gaze patterns. Specifically, we show that the effect varies depending on the type of visual cue. We discuss these empirical results with respect to visual attention theory.
