Visual Attention by Screen Vectors: Independent, Continuing, Converging, and Diverging Vectors

The measurement and evaluation of an audience's visual attention are crucial processes for the scientific production of various contents and services. It has been alleged that a vector exists between objects on a screen, but this has not been explored empirically. This study tested whether or not there are any positive correlations between screen vectors and viewers' eye movements. Participants were exposed to four groups of pictures representing an independent vector, continuing vector, converging vector, and diverging vector. The results showed that vectors on screens induced viewers' eye movements to the vector object by the directivity of the visual stimuli.
