Figure 6.
The fixation comparison highlights differences in visual attention between bare and rich environments. The bare scene shows fewer and more narrowly distributed fixation points concentrated along a specific path. In the rich scene, fixation points are more widespread and clustered around key features, indicating increased visual exploration and engagement. The richer environment encourages more frequent eye movements and a higher diversity of attention areas, implying stronger cognitive processing and interest distribution.Comparison of the spread of participant’s positions between the Bare and Rich versions of the virtual environment
