  • A Multidisciplinary Study of Eye Tracking Technology for Visual Intelligence

    Open AccessShyamli Sindhwani, Gregory Minissale et al.ARTICLEEducation Sciences2020

    The ability to analyse aspects of visual culture—works of art, maps or plans, graphs, tables and X-rays—quickly and efficiently is critical in decision-making in a broad range of disciplines. Eye tracking is a technology that can record how long someone dwells on a particular detail in an image, where the eye moves from one part of the image to the other, and the sequence the viewer uses to interpret visual information. These MP4 recordings can b…
