“Utopia” is a depiction of an imaginary neighborhood, a place with no borders and boundaries, where all its residents are living in it happily and peacefully together. In this digital painting, visual indicators such as a character looking into a distance, etc. are designed to navigate the audience. The visual indicators encourage the audience to explore the painting. For the realization of the borderless digital painting, we developed an application for PC using Unity, an eye tracking camera and speakers. The application uses a camera in Unity and a square or rectangular two-dimensional image designed for our purpose (such as the mentioned painting of the neighborhood). When a viewer watches the painting freely, the image is scrolled without interruption depending on the viewer’s eye direction. Each character in the painting has short animated moves, along with the sound effects which the viewer hears as his/her eye approaches.
