Two papers that shed more light on our research and results have been submitted.<BR/><BR/>We are currently working on expanding our research. We get a lot of traction with software engineers. But, interestingly we face emotional and non rational resistance from the cognitive usability community. Are they concerned about their livelihood? Maybe<BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>Dan Tamir<BR/><BR/>dt19@txstate.edu<BR/><BR/>D. E. Tamir, O. V. Komogortsev, and C. J.

It was an interesting read. <BR/><BR/>As the Google paper says, what differentiates their work from the past work comparing eye and mouse tracking is their exclusive focus on web search, but I agree that your paper and some of the previous work like the Chen et al. 2001 paper is also quite interesting.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I really like this line from your paper: "Discriminating between a lack of usefulness and a lack of discovery is a key challenge." That nicely captures the value in mouse and eye tracking, that you can get information about whether the reason that no one clicks on something is because they never saw it.Greg Lindenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09216403000599463072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-69077790949077829092008-01-17T06:22:00.000-08:002008-01-17T06:22:00.000-08:00Here is another low-cost eye (ok, head) tracking h...Here is another low-cost eye (ok, head) tracking hack using a Nintendo Wii remote:<BR/><BR/>http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/<BR/><BR/>"Using the infrared camera in the Wii remote and a head mounted sensor bar (two IR LEDs), you can accurately track the location of your head..."David Pennockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06369172924419106987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6569681.post-47106976511324156472008-01-17T03:52:00.000-08:002008-01-17T03:52:00.000-08:00We review the literature on eye-mouse synch in: IN...We review the literature on eye-mouse synch in: INSTRUMENTING THE DYNAMIC WEB Edmonds, A., White, R. , Morris, D., Drucker, S., Journal of Web Engineering, Vol. 6, No. 3, 2007. http://research.microsoft.com/%7Esdrucker/papers/EdmondsJWE2007.pdf<BR/><BR/>It's interesting that mouse-eye synch is more common in pages where a click is likely to happen. If the page is all text, with no links, there strategy of keeping the mouse near the eye is less relevant.
