| Abstract: | With Extended Reality (XR) technology becoming more prevalent in social settings, it might influence social interaction. The Apple Vision Pro (AVP) XR device has features specifically designed to improve social interaction in XR, such as an outward facing display that shows a representation of the user’s eyes to people in their surroundings, called “EyeSight”. This feature is hypothesised to have a positive effect on social attention between an XR user and a non-user, as research shows that eye contact and gaze information play a major role in social attention. To test this, data were collected through observations of an experimental collaborative task and a follow-up survey, comparing the social attention of XR users and non-users for AVP groups and Quest 3 groups. While differences were generally small, AVP groups demonstrated slightly more eye contact and performed slightly better, suggesting a positive influence of the “Eyesight” feature. These findings contribute to the further development of XR design for social interaction and should be explored in more depth to determine the influence of AVP “EyeSight” on social interactions. |
