Abstract

The shape of an object is one of the features that attracts viewers’ attention, making it salient from other objects in a scenario. However, the shape of an object might be linked to the viewer’s personal experiences. In order to verify if the shape of an object is a feature not linked to the meaning that the object has for the viewer, in this paper we replicate an empirical study, using abstract object. 23 male and 17 female ordered objects according to the most attractive shapes. Using a computational measurement of saliency of the shape of 3D objects in Virtual Reality, based on the proportion of empty and full space within its bounding box, we found that our metric matches, when abstract or non-abstract objects are evaluated.
