Development of an Empathy Measuring System while Watching Images

Abstract

Gaze movement is the combination of head movement and eye movement when viewing images. The development of big screen displays in recent years has been remarkable, and it is thought that people move their heads more aggressively when viewing images on a big screen. Moreover, people can often view more than one image at a time on a big screen display, or on the big screen in a movie theater. It is assumed that there is a change in gaze movement depending on viewing location. Based on this, we developed a measuring system that can measure the gaze movement of two people simultaneously. The system is based on head and eye movement measures we developed previously. We hypothesize that it will be possible to measure the degree of coincidence of the viewing location and cooperativeness of the gaze movement of the two viewers using this measuring system.
