Abstract
A line-of-sight detection apparatus includes a first direction determining section that determines a first direction that is a direction of a line of sight of a first eye of a subject; a second direction determining section that determines a second direction that is a direction of a line of sight of a second eye of the subject; an assuming section that assumes a gaze direction of the subject based on at least one of (i) a manipulation by the subject of a device provided with a line-of-sight measurement apparatus that measures a line of sight of the subject, (ii) a state of the device, and (iii) an orientation of a face of the subject; and a first judging section that compares the assumed gaze direction, the first direction, and the second direction, and judges which of the first eye and the second eye is a dominant eye.
