Enhanced representation of web pages for usability analysis with eye tracking

Enhanced representation of web pages for usability analysis with eye tracking
Enhanced representation of web pages for usability analysis with eye tracking
Eye tracking as a tool to quantify user attention plays a major role
in research and application design. For Web page usability, it has
become a prominent measure to assess which sections of a Web page
are read, glanced or skipped. Such assessments primarily depend on
the mapping of gaze data to a Web page representation. However,
current representation methods, a virtual screenshot of the Web
page or a video recording of the complete interaction session, suffer
either from accuracy or scalability issues. We present a method
that identifies fixed elements on Web pages and combines user
viewport screenshots in relation to fixed elements for an enhanced
representation of the page. We conducted an experiment with 10
participants and the results signify that analysis with our method is
more efficient than a video recording, which is an essential criterion
for large scale Web studies.

Abstract

Eye tracking as a tool to quantify user attention plays a major role
in research and application design. For Web page usability, it has
become a prominent measure to assess which sections of a Web page
are read, glanced or skipped. Such assessments primarily depend on
the mapping of gaze data to a Web page representation. However,
current representation methods, a virtual screenshot of the Web
page or a video recording of the complete interaction session, suffer
either from accuracy or scalability issues. We present a method
that identifies fixed elements on Web pages and combines user
viewport screenshots in relation to fixed elements for an enhanced
representation of the page. We conducted an experiment with 10
participants and the results signify that analysis with our method is
more efficient than a video recording, which is an essential criterion
for large scale Web studies.
