Abstract:
Eye-contact plays a very important role in the face-to-face human communication. In the shared augmented reality space, however, the eye-contact between two people is blocked by the head-mounted displays. An HMD is a necessary device for merging the virtual and real worlds to realize the augmented/mixed reality. [Ohta and Tamura 1999] As a side effect, it covers the user eyes. In a shared AR/MR space, multiple users want to share the real world as well as the virtual objects. However, the eye-contact information in the real world is dropped because of the HMDs.
