Abstract

This paper focuses on a principle in presenting safety-related message on the table for a chemistry experiment support system. It is important for students to acquire applied skills to conduct experiments without the system in the future, as well as avoiding a danger in front of them.. We conducted an eye-gaze analysis to find out the effect of spatial connectedness of a message to a hazardous object. The results suggest a design principle against the strength of spatial connectedness in terms of visual search range, possible reaction time and the number of interpretations against a presented message.
