Watching 360° Videos Together
summary
A study of 32 participants (16 pairs) watches a pre-recorded 360° campus bike tour on time-synced iPads where each person can pan independently and the main finding is that independent control breaks joint reference and conversational flow. Participants rarely perfectly mimic each other and often resort to looking at each other’s screens or physically dragging a partner’s view to reestablish focus. The paper proposes simple prototypes like gaze awareness overlays and a pan-to-view engagement button as design fixes; these are demonstrated as quick mockups rather than fully evaluated systems.
