Attention allocation towards the mediated environment is assumed to be a necessary precondition to experience presence. In presence research, however, the potential of visual attention theories or eye-tracking techniques have not been exploited so far. In this study, participants (N= 44) ride on a virtual roller coaster simulation. We compare participants scoring high versus low on presence. In addition, we manipulated the degree of presence (low vs. high). During the ride, the eye movements were captured. In addition, we assessed subjective ex-post presence judgments. We found high sensations of presence to be associated with more fixations, shorter fixation durations, smaller saccade amplitudes, and decreased saccade velocity. We discuss individual scan patterns and reflect on the possible implications of our findings for presence theory and VR-design.
