Abstract

With the increasing number of opportunities to search for a desired content from a large amount of information, it is required to improve the efficiency of information search. We propose a support method for information search with eye movements. For information search, the gaze moves quickly during the search, and the gaze stops when it is judged whether the content is the desired content or something close to it. From this, it is thought that by coloring spots where a certain fixation happens, it would help users read back quickly, and it would be easier for the gaze to go to similar contents. A experiment is conducted on nine subjects and it is found that the total distance of eye movements and elapsed time to complete information search are shortened.
