We develop an assistive, head-mounted pointing device which helps surgeons in the endoscopic surgery to instruct their tasks smoothly. However, the device has a difficulty in intuitive control because users have to tilt their heads when moving a cursor. We tackle this problem by clarifying the possible range of head tilt. After that, we conduct the evaluation experiments to confirm that the performance is improved.
