Except that this technique has worked for me after I look at a person too. We make eye contact, then I look to their right and they automatically pass on my left. I think it's more subconscious than you're making it out to be.

I used this technique to cross the street in Vietnam, oncoming motorcycles look where they’re going, and they trust that you will too. Looking at an oncoming motorcycle just results in both of you coming to a stop. Guess the ski instructors were right: you go where you look.
