Knowing where your users are looking on screen may seem like Columbus’ egg and sound like a goldmine of information. Especially when it can be done fast and cheap by every UX designer. Are you wondering whether eye tracking can be valuable for you and your product?
You will get an answer not only to this question but also:
• What can and what can’t eye tracking do?
• What advantages and disadvantages of a portable eyetracker?
• What information can be generated apart from the plain heatmap?
• How can you set up a user test with eye tracking?
… and lots of tips, demos and hands-on await you.

EyeTribe benchmarked to other trackers:
Results indicate that the spatial precision and accuracy are
good enough for fixation checking, point-of-regard analyses,
and pupilometry. However, the low sampling rate renders the
device unsuitable for testing high-accuracy saccade metrics.

47. Measures of attraction vs. Measures of
performance
• Include the table from the book (35%)
• • Measures of attraction determine the impact of a design on users’ awareness, interest, and desire, helping assess how well a
design supports business goals. These measures are often used to evaluate the effectiveness of product packaging,
promotional content on a website, or anything that is supposed to grab attention without being intentionally sought.
Measures of attraction include: • Area noticeability measures, such as the time to first fixation on an AOI, to determine how
easy something is to notice. • Area interest measures, such as the total dwell time on an AOI, to assess how much interest
something received once it was noticed. • Emotional arousal measures, such as pupil diameter, to indicate the object’s
desirability.

• • Measures of performance are used to evaluate a design’s usability and determine how well the design supports users in
achieving their goals. These measures include the following: • Mental workload measures, such as pupil diameter, to reflect
the demands placed on a user’s cognitive resources by the tested interface and factors associated with the interaction. •
Cognitive processing measures, such as average fixation duration, to gauge the amount of effort involved in extracting and
comprehending information. • Target findability measures, such as the percentage of participants who fixated on the target,
to assess the visual accessibility of something that users are looking for. • Target recognizability measures, such as the time
from the first fixation on the target to the selection of the target, to reveal how effectively the purpose of the target is
communicated.
