Abstract

Mixed reality (MR) technology has been attracting attention in the automobile industry and logistics industry for work training and remote work support for newcomers. However, work support using MR technology has the problem that displaying too much information obstructs the user’s field of vision and rather interferes with the work. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the user’s intention and provide only the information that the user wants. In addition, the system should be able to detect naturally from the user’s behavior without interrupting the work, which the user explicitly selects. To solve these problems, in this paper, we use the user’s gaze to determine whether to display content by estimating whether or not they are looking at information. Another problem with gaze-based research in MR work support is that it is difficult to determine which space you are looking at in a space where virtual space and real space intersect. In order to overcome this problem, in this research, we grasp the user’s behavior from the movement of the user’s gaze, and we suggest a way to determine make the user interface (UI) the movement of the gaze that is unlikely to occur during that behavior to see if the user is looking at the UI. As a result of the experiment, we were able to promote the movement of gaze that is different from the characteristics of the movement of gaze during work with the proposed UI movement.
