Abstract(in English) In recent years, various user interfaces have been developed according to the diversity of physically disabled peoples. The purpose of this study is to develop an operation support system that can estimate the direction of user 's attention in order to support operation in the electric wheelchair running of physically disabled persons. In this paper, we developed a gaze input type electric wheelchair and implemented an attention direction estimation method by gaze amount histogram.
