Abstract
We report an eye tracking experiment conducted on a virtual pediatric patient system to determine the effect of different visual interface layouts on the amount of visual interaction of student nurses with a virtual mother-child dyad. The results of this experiment provide insight into the tradeoffs between using animated or non-animated virtual patients and relative advantages/disadvantages of interacting with the system though a tablet interface.
