Title
The potentials for hands-free interaction in micro-neurosurgery
Abstract
Micro-neurosurgery has been revolutionized by advances in the surgical microscope such as high magnification that have increased a surgeon's ability to have a clear view of the surgical field. High magnification necessitates frequent interaction with the microscope during an operation, and the current interaction technique for positioning and adjusting the microscope introduces risk factors that force a surgeon to remove hands from the operating field. The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential for hands-free interaction in micro-neurosurgery. We present findings from a contextual study of how neurosurgeons interact with the microscope and the surgical team, and discuss the implications of the findings for designing hands-free, especially gaze-based interaction techniques for micro-neurosurgery.
