Eye tracking provides you with valuable information about the perception and interaction of testers in usability or marketing studies.
Eye tracking measures where a person is looking on the computer screen. Eye movements consist of fixations and saccades. Fixations are the phases in which the human eye rests on one point. During the fixations, most of the visual information is recorded. This makes them particularly important for eye tracking analysis. Saccades are the movements of the eye between the individual fixations in which the eye is aligned to a new point. Fixations are visualized as circles, whereby the diameter of the circle describes the length of a fixation. Saccades are represented as connecting lines between the fixations:
With the aid of eye tracking anlysis you can identify what customers perceive on the screen and how they interact with the content. Amongst other things, you will find out in what order which contents are being viewed and how intensively. This information allows you to optimize your designs towards specific targets. Based on your collected eye tracking data, you can channel the attention of viewers, communicate information more efficiently and improve the usability of your product. Therefore, turning visitors into customers and new customers into
Examine various contents on the screen:
Each eye tracking data is recorded with the help of eye trackers. This special hardware is attached under the screen and focuses on the position as well as the viewing direction from the eyes of the person in front of the computer screen. Using infrared light, eye trackers capture data with extreme accuracy. In fact, the average deviation is only about 0.5 cm. Data collection with infrared technology is so reliable, that even people with glasses or contact lenses can participate in analyses without any problems.
In the EYEVIDO system, we use the latest generation of eye tracking systems for data recording. We currently work with several models from different manufacturers.
Eye tracking analyses are used to optimize visual products such as advertisements, websites or films. Our new approach of conducting web-based eye tracking studies in the cloud is known as Cloud Eye Tracking. We provide the appropriate software and infrastructure. The core of the approach is to store all data centrally on a Server and to access it via the Internet.
Eye tracking studies can be accessed via the EYEVIDO portal via web browser. In the portal, you develop the course of your studies and evaluate the recorded data.
The data recording takes place on Eye tracking Clients. They are equipped with an eye tracker and require Internet access. The EYEVIDO test person software is installed on the client. It guides volunteers autonomously through eye tracking studies and transfers the recorded data to the server.
The procedure of a typical cloud eye tracking study looks like the following:
1.
A new eye tracking study is created in the web interface.
2.
After completion the study is started and the data collection begins.
3.
Participants take part in the study on computers equipped with an eye tracker. This can take place in a lab, in a branch or at the participants’ home. In the same office, town, country, or spread worldwide.
4.
The recorded data ins transferred on our server via internet connection.
5.
At any given time, intermediate results can be viewed in the EYEVIDO portal.
6.
Visualization and evaluation of the data in the web browser. Export and save results your results, as well as generate a study report.
Previously, eye tracking studies could only be carried out with desktop software. In comparison, cloud eye tracking offers a number of advantages:
