Abstract

Artists, illustrators, photographers, and cinematographers have long used the principles of contrast and composition to guide visual attention. In this paper we introduce geometry modification as a tool to persuasively direct visual attention. We build upon recent advances in mesh saliency to develop techniques to alter geometry to elicit greater visual attention. Eye-tracking-based user studies show that our approach successfully guides user attention in a statistically significant manner. Our approach operates directly on geometry, and therefore produces view-independent results that can be used with existing view-dependent techniques of visual persuasion.
