“…A first experiment of this kind was conducted in 2011, with a prototype mobile eye tracker that acted as an unobtrusive personal guide and provided audio information on specific art objects via earphones [41]. A more recent study, conducted in 2018, compared eye-tracking-based and conventional museum guides at the Hecht Museum in Haifa, Israel [42]. In another work, related audio clips were played when specific elements in a painting were looked at by visitors wearing a mobile eye tracker [43].…”

Interactive and immersive technologies can significantly enhance the fruition of museums and exhibits. Several studies have proved that multimedia installations can attract visitors, presenting cultural and scientific information in an appealing way. In this article, we present our workflow for achieving a gaze-based interaction with artwork imagery. We designed both a tool for creating interactive “gaze-aware” images and an eye tracking application conceived to interact with those images with the gaze. Users can display different pictures, perform pan and zoom operations, and search for regions of interest with associated multimedia content (text, image, audio, or video). Besides being an assistive technology for motor impaired people (like most gaze-based interaction applications), our solution can also be a valid alternative to the common touch screen panels present in museums, in accordance with the new safety guidelines imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Experiments carried out with a panel of volunteer testers have shown that the tool is usable, effective, and easy to learn.

“…Researchers have also been interested in exhibition interiors and using portable eye trackers in museums [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55]. The tests carried both in laboratory conditions and in museum interiors made it possible to learn how different age groups look at exhibits and how they use those exhibits to obtain information, to identify visual distractors, and to study the relationship between the arrangement of exhibits and the architecture of the historical interiors in which these exhibits are displayed.…”

Conservators, museologists, and architects make extremely complex decisions capable of affecting the way people perceive monuments. One might give this idea deeper consideration while pondering anastylosis. One of the things a designer should do when selecting a method of merging together parts of a damaged monument is answer the question whether the chosen method will facilitate the interest of onlookers in the presented object. In which case will the observers spend most of their time looking at the authentic relic fragments and distinguishing between the old and the new parts? The definitions in force do not explain how to approach this topic. By using eye-tracking research, we can learn how observers look at historical objects that have been reassembled again. By combining the observation of visual behaviours with a survey of people looking at such objects, it is possible to see how the process of classifying what is new and old actually works. This knowledge allows for more conscious approach to heritage management processes. In future, results of eye-tracking experiments should help experts plan sustainable conservation projects. Thanks to knowing the reactions of regular people, one will be able to establish conservation programmes in which the material preservation of a monument will reflect the way in which this object affects contemporary onlookers. Such an approach ought to result in real social and economic benefits.

“…Eye trackers have been used while researching humanoriented strategy for protecting cityscape [24], the relationship of architecture in landscape and urban context [22,23,24,25]. Researchers have also been interested in exhibition interiors and using eye trackers in museums [30,31,32,33,34].…”

Conservators, museologists, and architects make extremely complex decisions capable of affecting the way people perceive monuments. One might give this idea deeper consideration while pondering anastylosis, which should be done in such a way that it is possible to recognize the original and newlyadded elements. The definitions in force do not, however, explain how to make such a distinction. By using eye-tracking research, we can learn how observers look at historic objects that have been reassembled again. By combining the observation of visual behaviours with a survey of people looking at such objects, it is possible to see how the process of classifying what is new and old actually works. This knowledge allows for both a more conscious approach to heritage management process and pro-social design of exhibitions at archaeological sites, museums, and virtual reality.
