NinjaHeads: Gaze-Oriented Parallel View System for Asynchronous Tasks
Theophilus Teo, Maki Sugimoto, Gun Lee, Mark Billinghurst · 2023
Virtual parallel experience enables a person in Virtual Reality (VR) to receive multiple and concurrent perspectives. It also enables the person to synchronously participate in activities or solve multiple tasks at once. This research focuses on utilizing parallel views for asynchronous tasks by providing the user with intuitively extended view perspectives driven by gaze. In this demonstration, we present NinjaHeads, a parallel view system that generates four additional perspectives "parallel views", based on the user’s gaze point. We introduce a technique where a user can manipulate parallel views and their behaviors through eye, head, and hand movements. This allows the user to concurrently examine an object or a point of interest from different perspectives, as if the user has more than a pair of eyes.
