Speicher et al. (TVX 2019; 32 participants, within-subjects, 8 methods x 2 devices = 512 trials, short static-camera party-game clips without sound) report that every tested guidance method beat no guidance on identifying a blinking target, with a coloured follow-the-object sphere best and an actor who guides second, forced rotation not significantly less accurate than the others but lowest in user experience with the most disorientation, and an object-blink halo poor. More than a third did not follow the best cue. The result applies to this task (spotting one blinking object), seated viewers, static camera and no audio; it does not measure story comprehension or missed story events.
