Abstract

We report a study designed to test whether visitors to virtual exhibition environments are sensitive to patterns of display covisibility. We show that visitors' assessment of the clarity of presentation of a pictorial theme is associated with the degree of covisibility of member works. We also show that visitors are effortlessly able to identify locations and orientations which maximize the covisibility of member works. The analysis involves the refinement of existing measures of the objective covisibility affordances of layouts to take into account orientation, viewing angle, and subtended angle. By showing that exhibition visitors are sensitive to patterns of display covisibility we complement a growing literature which offers assessments of exhibition environments from the point of view of covisibility affordances.
