    Another's gaze may capture our spatial attention to the direction of the gaze automatically and strongly. The cuing effects on spatial attention were compared between two types of cuing gaze of line drawing human face and arrow. Stimulus onset asynchronies (SOA) were set to 100ms and 300ms. In Experiment 1 three task conditions, target detection, localization, and identification, were employed to measure cue validity effects. Response times and error rates showed statistically significant cue validity effects of the gaze cue and indicated that the localization task is the most appropriate to estimate the cuing effects. In Experiment 2 the cuing effects of arrow were measured using localization task and again significant cue validity effects were observed. Apparently, arrow head directions produced more rapid response times than gaze directions did when the target appeared in the same direction of the cue.

    Recent studies have revealed that both of “Midas Touch-” and “Premature Movement-” Problems are the crucial problems in efficient use of a gaze interface. These problems are strongly relating to human gaze behaviours during using such kind of interfaces, and cause frequent errors such as mistyping, inappropriate inputs, and so on. This paper discusses the learning processes during using a gaze interface in typing Japanese texts, focusing on the abovementioned two problems. We performed 7-day experiments with 8 novice subjects to observe their performances as well as their subjective estimates of performance during learning. Based on the data, it could be interpreted that all subjects had been acquainted with the interface by relatively short practice. In addition, we found that the performance level after gaining acquaintance with the interface was quite acceptable in terms of practical use. Considering the analysis results, we also discuss efficiency of the gaze interface as well as the matters to be considered when such interfaces are implemented to potential users, which were elicited from results of the experiment.
