Comparison between Regular Visitors and First-Time Visitors in Spatial Distribution of Gaze Pattern During Walking

Abstract

This paper deals with compare of distribution of gaze pattern during walking between regular visitors and first-time visitors. An experiment was carried out in which participants walk through a street with an eye tracker to measure gaze pattern. As a result, it is found that distribution of gaze pattern of first-time visitors is wider than regular visitors. Further, it was revealed that regular visitors tend to look into spaces in front of them whereas first-time visitors tend to look into open spaces in side of them. This is because first-time visitors distribute attention to grasp the situation of spaces in side of them as compared to regular visitors.
