Eye-tracking in Practice: The Path to Evaluating a New Interface for Personal Desktop Search
نویسندگان
چکیده
Analysis of eye movement data provides a valuable methodology to evaluate and inform user interface design. However, there are a number hurdles that must be overcome on the path to successfully gaining meaningful eye movement data. We describe how we used a commercially available eye tracking system to evaluate a new interface for personal desktop search called Phlat. A small eye-tracking user study was conducted, which presented a number of challenges in order for participants to search data situated on their own remote desktop machine while in the eye-tracking laboratory. The convergence between the results of this eye-tracking study and a larger analysis of application logs points to at least one area were Phlat’s user interface might be improved.

متن کاملApplying Genetic Algorithm to EEG Signals for Feature Reduction in Mental Task Classification
Brain-Computer interface systems are a new mode of communication which provides a new path between brain and its surrounding by processing EEG signals measured in different mental states. Therefore, choosing suitable features is demanded for a good BCI communication. In this regard, one of the points to be considered is feature vector dimensionality. We present a method of feature reduction us...

This paper describes an attempt to enhance a windows based (WIMP Windows Icon Menu Pointer) environment. The goal is to establish whether user interaction on the common desktop PC can be augmented by adding new modalities to the WIMP interface, thus bridging the gap between todays interaction patterns and future interfaces comprising e.g. advanced conversational capabilities, VR technology, etc...
متن کاملCreating Exploratory Tasks for a Faceted Search Interface
In this paper we describe a process for creating and evaluating exploratory tasks for a faceted search interface. We used the tasks in an eye tracking study of a faceted library catalog search interface. We report on user perceptions of the tasks. The method is intended to be extensible to generate exploratory tasks for other types of interfaces and domains.
