From Eye Movement to Data
Important notes about the Eye and peripheral viewing
Video Based Eye Tracker
Procedure
Identification of center of the pupil by infrared
Identification of reflection point ot infrared on the cornea
alorithm calcuates on relation of these two points
Eyetracking Measures:
Fixation
saccade
pupil dilation
fixation duration
gaze duration
Technical Equipment
Remote
Tower Mount
Eye Tracking Glasses
Infrared lamp and eye camera placed close to monitor
no physical contact
head movements possible
high precision through technical progress
infrared lamp and eye camera placed in tower
head movements not possible
ideal for touchscreens, close distance
more accurate than remote
infrared lamp and eye camera worn on the head
head movement freedom
additional scene camera captures field of view
Comparison between
static eye tracking
mobile eye tracking
field of vision no change
simple data evaluation
field of vision may change
manual annotation of data necessary
Eyetracking can be used as an indicator of
emotional arousal. Pupil diameter increases when respondents processes emotionally enganging stimuli
A larger number of studies found that changes in cognitive load are indicated by
changes in pupil response, increased averave fixation durations and faster saccades
Explain Perceptual Fluency
Its the feeling of ease of processing new information
its a indicator of procressing flow and show how efficient a stimulus can be processed
high frequency eye blink indicate a change in flow information
driving: more concentrated fixations and smaller saccadic distances indicate higher fluency
its still unclear how to measure perceptual fluency using eye tracking
Where is Eye tracking used
research discipline
research question
used to improve the usability of websites, search engines, e commerce shops
research disciplines: Marketing and Information Systems
Research question: Which visual factors influence the perceived usability
