“…Analogies have been drawn between eye movement in desktop viewing and head movement in VR viewing, as the latter exposes similar relationships between amplitude, duration and peak velocity [22]. In visual exploration, "head fixations" were observed during which subjects only made eye movements over a mean range of 18°horizontally, while larger shifts usually involve head movement [23]. Other work on visual saliency observed coupled head and eye movement, suggesting the head following the eye with an average delay of 58ms on the basis of cross-correlation of movements, with a mean gaze direction of around 14±12° [63] relative to the head orientation.…”

Humans perform gaze shifts naturally through a combination of eye, head and body movements. Although gaze has been long studied as input modality for interaction, this has previously ignored the coordination of the eyes, head and body. This article reports a study of gaze shifts in virtual reality aimed to address the gap and inform design. We identify general eye, head and torso coordination patterns and provide an analysis of the relative movements’ contribution and temporal alignment. We quantify effects of target distance, direction and user posture, describe preferred eye-in-head motion ranges and identify a high variability in head movement tendency. Study insights lead us to propose gaze zones that reflect different levels of contribution from eye, head and body. We discuss design implications for HCI and VR, and in conclusion argue to treat gaze as multimodal input, and eye, head and body movement as synergetic in interaction design.

“…Their target was to provide test data and analysis tools to enable the study of the visual saliency in VR environment. Hu et al studied the natural head moves (Hu et al, 2017) and then the correlations between head and gaze moves (Hu et al, 2018) while studying complex scenes in HMD. They were not recording the head and gaze data during the same session, though, but the correlation was between cumulative data from separate sessions.…”

Head mounted displays provide a good platform for viewing of immersive 360° or hemispheric images. A person can observe an image all around, just by turning his/her head and looking at different directions. The device also provides a highly useful tool for studying the observer’s gaze directions and head turns. We aimed to explore the interplay between participant’s head and gaze directions and collected head and gaze orientation data while participants were asked to view and study hemispheric images. In this exploration paper we show combined visualizations of both the head and gaze orientations and present two preliminary models of the relation between the gaze and the head orientations. We also show results of an analysis of the gaze and head behavior in relation to the given task/question.
