Abstract

Vision is crucial for daily input and plays a significant role in remote collaboration. Sharing gaze has been explored to enhance communication, but sharing gaze alone is not natural due to limited central vision (30 degrees). We propose a novel approach to map gaze and head movements simultaneously, enabling replicating natural observation across individuals. In this paper, we evaluate the effectiveness of replication head movements and gaze on another person by a pilot study. In the future, we will also explore the possibility of improving novices’ efficiency in imitating experts by replicating the gaze trajectories of experts.
