We show that a simple low-dimensional representation of movie patches, namely local spectral energy, can be used to predict where people will look in dynamic natural scenes. We then present a gaze-contingent display that modifies local spectral energy in real time. This modification of the saliency distribution of the scene leads to a change in eye movement statistics. Our research aims at the guidance of gaze with the ultimate goal of optimising vision-based communication systems.
