Is Eye-Tracking a Feasible Interaction Paradigm for Large Displays in the Sterile Field?

The paper describes how eye-tracking can be used to explore electronic patient records (EPR) in a sterile environment.

Description
Summary:The paper describes how eye-tracking can be used to explore electronic patient records (EPR) in a sterile environment. As an information display, we used a system that we developed for the presentation of patient data and for supporting surgical hand disinfection. The eye-tracking was performed using the Tobii Eye Tracker 4C, and the connection between the eye-tracker and the HTML website was realized using the Tobii EyeX Chrome Extension. Interactions with the EPR are triggered by fixations of icons. The interaction was working as intended, but test persons reported a high mental load while using the system.
