But this mon knowledge turns out wrong. A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle that39。s degrees off to the observer39。s right173。well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, She39。s not looking at you. This is somewhat ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person39。s gaze (凝視) in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the Mona Lisa effect . That effect is absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person39。s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs. This is important for human interaction with onscreen characters. If you want someone off to the right side of a room to feel that a person onscreen is looking at him or her, you don39。t cut the gaze of the character to that side173。surprisingly, doing so would make an observer feel like the character isn39。t looking at anyone in the room at all. Instead, you keep the gaze straight ahead. Horstmann and his coauthor were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificialintelligence avatars(虛擬頭像) when Horstmann took a long look at the Mona Lisa and realized she wasn39。t looking at him. To make sure it wasn39。t just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the Mona Lisa on a puter screen. They set a ruler between the viewer and the screen and asked the participants to note which number on the ruler intersected Mona Lisa39。s gaze. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa39。s gaze as she looked at the viewer, they moved the ruler farther from or closer to the screen during the study. Consistently, the researchers found, participants judged that the woman in the Mona Lisa portrait was not looking straight at them, but slightly off to their right. So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn39。t sure. It39。s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term Mona Lisa effect just thought it was a cool name.（1）It is generally believed that the woman in the painting Mona Lisa .
