Outline of Annual Research Achievements

I arranged a business trip to an eye-tracking service provider based in Japan. At their headquarter, I discussed with their staff different options of obtaining and installing the eye-tracker and the required software license. I also attended information briefing and training workshops for setting up the eye-tracking system .
Then with the help of the administrative team, I was able to start an eye-tracking lab in my institution by installing the eye-tracking hardware and software and purchasing other support equipment. I advertised my research project within my institution and recruited some participants for data collection.

Current Status of Research Progress

3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.

Reason

The delay was a consequence of Covid-19 in the previous fiscal years.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

I will continue collecting more data and when the data is ready, I will start analyzing the data.

Causes of Carryover

There is remaining balance because data collection has not been completed. I will need to use the remaining balance to continue to pay for data collection from more participants.
