Finding common subsequences in those scan paths is a challenging task since they are typically not equally temporally long, do not consist of the same number of fixations, or do not lead along similar stimulus regions. In this paper we describe a technique based on pairwise and multiple sequence alignment to support a data analyst to see the most important patterns in the data. To reach this goal the scan paths are first transformed into a sequence of characters based on metrics as well as spatial and temporal aggregations. The result of the algorithmic data transformation is used as input for an interactive consensus matrix visualization. We illustrate the usefulness of the concepts by applying it to formerly recorded eye movement data investigating route finding tasks in public transport maps.","PeriodicalId":237808,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2018 ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research & Applications","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133527817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we present EyeMR, a low-cost system (below 100$) that enables researchers to rapidly prototype new techniques for eye and gaze interactions. Our system supports mono- and binocular tracking (using Pupil Capture) and includes a Unity framework to support the fast development of new interaction techniques.

This paper proposes a gaze model based on eye tracking empirical data to identify when a system should proactively interact with the expert during visual inspection tasks. The gaze model derives from the analyses of a user study where 11 seismic interpreters were asked to perform the visual inspection task of seismic images from known and unknown basins. The eye tracking fixation patterns were triangulated with pupil dilations and thinking-aloud data. Results show that cumulative saccadic distances allow identifying when additional information could be offered to support seismic interpreters, changing the visual search behavior from exploratory to goal-directed.","PeriodicalId":237808,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2018 ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research & Applications","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129039402","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using eye-tracking methodology, we present the contributions of this paper as follows: We first investigated the preferences of students with the different levels of knowledge; experts, intermediates, and novices, in representational competence in the domain of physics problem-solving. It reveals that experts more likely prefer to use vector than other representations. Besides, a similar tendency of table representation usage was observed in all groups. Also, diagram representation has been used less than others. Secondly, we evaluated three similarity measures; Levenshtein distance, transition entropy, and Jensen-Shannon divergence. Conducting Recursive Feature Elimination technique suggests Jensen-Shannon divergence is the best discriminating feature among the three. However, investigation on mutual dependency of the features implies transition entropy mutually links between two other features where it has mutual information with Levenshtein distance (Maximal Information Coefficient = 0.44) and has a correlation with Jensen-Shannon divergence (r(18313) = 0.70, p < .001).","PeriodicalId":237808,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2018 ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research & Applications","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126468905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Introducing the latter comparative base is the original contribution of these studies. The residents and specialists were trained in medical diagnosing of X-Rays and for these two groups it was possible to compare visual patterns between observers with different level of the same expertise type. On the other hand, the radiographers who took part in the examination - due to specific of their daily work - had experience in reading and evaluating X-Rays quality and were not trained in diagnosing. Involving this group created in our research the new opportunity to explore eye movements obtained when examining X-Ray for both medical diagnosing and quality assessment purposes, which may be treated as different types of expertise. We found that, despite the low diagnosing performance, the radiographers eye movement characteristics were more similar to the specialists than eye movement characteristics of the residents. It may be inferred that people with different type of expertise, yet after gaining a certain level of experience (or practise), may develop similar visual patterns which is the original conclusion of the research.","PeriodicalId":237808,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2018 ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research & Applications","volume":"111 9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122631845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reliable calibration is crucial in order to make repeatable recordings, which in turn are important to accurately measure the effects of a medical intervention. To test the suitability of different calibration polynomials for such patients, inaccurate calibration data were simulated using a geometric model of the EyeLink 1000 Plus desktop mode setup. This model is used to map eye position features to screen coordinates, creating screen data with known eye tracker data. This allows for objective evaluation of gaze estimation performance over the entire computer screen. Results show that the choice of calibration polynomial is crucial in order to ensure a high repeatability across measurements from patients who are hard to calibrate. Higher order calibration polynomials resulted in poor gaze estimation even for small simulated fixation inaccuracies.","PeriodicalId":237808,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2018 ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research & Applications","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128449300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The role of the air traffic controller (ATCO) will change in that they will have to monitor the operations of an automated system for failures. In order to take over control when automation fails, future ATCOs will need to be trained. While current ATC training is mainly based on performance indicators, this study will focus on the benefit of using eye tracking in future ATC training. Utilizing a low-fidelity operational monitoring task, a model of how attention should be allocated in case of malfunction will be derived. Based on this model, one group of ATC novices will receive training on how to allocate their attention appropriately (treatment). The other group will receive no training (control). Eye movements will be recorded to investigate how attention is allocated and if the training is successful. Performance measures will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the training.","PeriodicalId":237808,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2018 ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research & Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131124378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
