[Purpose] To examine the influences of orienting visual attention to information terminals on collision avoidance during walking, focusing on the velocity and displacement, as well as the method of intervention by an interferer. [Subjects and Methods] Fifteen healthy males of the general public performed an avoidance task while walking and using or not using an information terminal, as an interferer intervened, adopting 6 different methods. The obtained data were analyzed using a 3-dimensional motion analysis device to calculate the velocity and distance of displacement at intervals of 1 m. [Results] The walking velocity was lower when walking while using a smartphone, involving character input, compared with normal walking. The difference was particularly marked in the anterior component. The distance of lateral displacement was also longer in the former. These tendencies did not vary among the methods of intervention. [Conclusion] The orienting of visual attention to information terminals may influence the velocity and displacement before passing an interferer. This experiment may also be useful for the screening of visual information processing and walking functions.
