Videos of Individual Eyetracking Sessions
Ever wonder what your eyes really see when viewing a website?
You may think you know, but the mind works fast -- and your
eyes move around a page quickly, with a series of very short
fixations on page elements and words. It's a good bet that
you are not completely conscious of all the movements your
eyes make when viewing a webpage.
In the videos on this page, we show you what it looks like
through the eyes of a web user. The person tracked in these
videos is viewing some of the mock websites created for Eyetrack
III. However, this person was not one of our test participants;
our guinea pig is a college-educated white male in his early
30s.
Don't take what you see too seriously. Everyone views a page
slightly differently, and this is just a look through one
person's eyes. Nevertheless, it's fascinating viewing.
A note about what you see: Blue
dots represent fixations;
as a fixation gets longer, the dot grows. Lines
between the blue dots are saccades,
which are the paths between fixations.
RELATED: Eyetrack III researchers also reviewed static
representations of individual-user page sessions. Here's
an explanation.
