ABSTRACT

This study examined which accompanying information elements were noticed by visitors while they were looking at artworks, using eye-tracking experiments. First, we conducted an online survey to grasp the types of information that visitors wanted to know, and five elements were obtained. Second, we collected information on these five elements through interviews with one artist. Third, eye-tracking experiments were performed with semi-structured interviews. We set the information delivery media as follows: wall and mobile texts as commonly used in art museums. The results showed that patterns of eye movement of visitors were different according to the information delivery media. Also, we found that there was a correlation between the results of the eye-tracking experiment and visitor interest. This study has limitations in that it is an experiment limited to small sample size and artwork genre; however, it is meaningful in that it was able to grasp the information needs of visitors through eye-tracking.

摘要

这项研究使用眼动追踪实验研究了访客在观看艺术品时注意到了哪些伴随的信息元素。首先，我们进行了一次在线调查，以掌握访问者想知道的信息类型，并获得了五个要素。其次，我们通过采访一位艺术家收集了关于这五个要素的信息。第三，采用半结构化访谈进行眼动追踪实验。我们将信息传递媒体设置如下：艺术博物馆常用的墙面文字和移动文字。结果表明，根据信息传递媒体的不同，游客的眼球运动方式也有所不同。此外，我们发现眼动追踪实验的结果和访问者的兴趣之间存在相关性。这项研究的局限性在于，该实验仅限于小样本量和艺术品风格；但是，它具有意义，因为它能够通过眼动追踪来掌握访客的信息需求。
