An Eye-gaze Interface Supporting Biological Experiments

This paper proposes an interface for supporting biological experiments of novices. The interface provides a digitally equipped protocol and movies, which helps experimenters to understand the protocol, and enables us to access them by using an eye and a foot. The result of an experimental evaluation with “an experiment to dissect a horse mackerel” showed that while subjects without the interface made 8.4 misses on average, subjects with the interface did not make any mistake. Moreover, the result of an evaluation by questionnaires to subjects showed that the interface was very useful and it did not annoy the subjects.
