ViSTA: Visualisation of Scanpath Trend Analysis

Tracking users’ eye movements has widely been used to investigate cognitive processes for over 30 years and eye tracking during web use is a relatively new area. The most obvious applications of eye-tracking are in improving the standard design and layout of Web pages, and evaluating their usability. Studies have also examined the saliency of items on a page under varying, how eye movements vary according to information scent and how looking for a menu is influenced by page complexity and prior expectations. One of the popular dynamic eyetracking metric is a scanpath. A scanpath shows the sequence of elements that a user fixated. In our previous work, we have developed an algorithm that identifies the trending path in a given set of scanpaths. The main objective of this project is to provide a web-based interface for this algorithm and visualise its output.
