I figured out how much people and cats move while watching television for 1 hour

While watching TV, people are thought to be still, but they are quite moving in a surprising way. I recorded how I was moving there, and it seems that I found interesting things.

Details are below.

On the floor of the living room where there is a TV, I drew a square eye with a tape and put a dot based on what I took with a video and it was like this. Yellow is a baby one and a half years old, Orange is a 5 year old boy, white is a cat, blue is a father.


Is the baby watching TV on his father's knee?


A 5-year-old boy who is marked as an orange has moved to various places and is active. Sometimes I play with my baby in front of a toy box.


On the other hand, the movement of a cat moves from a warm place to a warm place, it is a simple thing to go out when you get hungry.


As you can see, the lower left area is rarely used. "Room" for this family is only where the line passes. You can see that the place you think that you know well is not actually used every corner.

Even in experiments conducted by French sociologist Paul-Henry Chombart de Lauwe in 1957, it is clear that humans only use part of the city. The figure below shows all the places that a student has moved in a year, but you can see that there are not too many movements other than the dark triangle of the house, school, learning house's teacher's house .

As you can see, humans may think that they only see a part and know everything. Humans and cats in the first figure are moving on different paths but it is interesting to see what difference is in "room" that both feel.
