Trust is essential for our interactions with others but also with artificial
intelligence (AI) based systems. To understand whether a user trusts an AI,
researchers need reliable measurement tools. However, currently discussed
markers mostly rely on expensive and invasive sensors, like
electroencephalograms, which may cause discomfort. The analysis of gaze data
has been suggested as a convenient tool for trust assessment. However, the
relationship between trust and several aspects of the gaze behaviour is not yet
fully understood. To provide more insights into this relationship, we propose a
exploration study in virtual reality where participants have to perform a
sorting task together with a simulated AI in a simulated robotic arm embedded
in a gaming. We discuss the potential benefits of this approach and outline our
study design in this submission.Comment: Workshop submission of a proposed research project at TRAIT 2023
