LaserViz:Shared gaze in the Co-located physical world

Gaze is an important aspect in social communication. In this paper, we present a first exploration of visualizing gaze in the co-located physical world. LaserViz augments gaze in the physical world by means of an eye-Tracking enabled wearable device that laser beams the gaze position to real world objects. Based on an initial prototype, we explored the effects of shared gaze through a collaborative, as well as a competitive, scenario in a co-located setting. This paper discusses the insights and implications following these explorations for the concept of shared gaze in the colocated physical world.
