Abstract

Visualizing eye tracking data can provide insights in many research fields. However, visualizing such data efficiently and cost-effectively is challenging without well-designed tools. Easily accessible web-based approaches equipped with intuitive and interactive visualizations offer to be a promising solution. Many of such tools already exist, however, they mostly use one specific visualization technique. In this paper, we describe a web application which uses a combination of different visualization methods for eye tracking data. The visualization techniques are interactively linked to provide several perspectives on the eye tracking data. We conclude the paper by discussing challenges, limitations, and future work.
