Using eye tracking glasses in the field

Very easy to set up and start using

Users feel comfortable using them

Permission is needed – the glasses are not that discreet

The battery in the recording device can drain quickly

Page 38: UX Scotland 2013   eye tracking glasses help define shop layout and record visitors' experience

Using eye tracking glasses in the field

Crucial for calibration purposes

Allow you to mark out AOI’s

Required for aggregated gaze trails and heatmaps

Speed up the analysis process

May not be feasible to set-up

You may need a lot of blue tack!

Page 39: UX Scotland 2013   eye tracking glasses help define shop layout and record visitors' experience

Using eye tracking glasses

Manual analysis can be time consuming, but it is worthwhile with well defined objectives

Automatic analysis is really great!

Recordings of the user journeys are loved by the clients

AOI’s analysis in videos available without markers

• In this Lightning Talk we would like to talk about novel techniques we employed in this project but also we are eager to share our experiences with using eye tracking glasses in the field research. Our client wanted to better understand the needs of visitors and how effective the layout of Tourist Information Centre is in answering those needs. Eye tracking was employed to help understand how visitors to Information Centre engage with it, which sections of the literature and merchandise shelving were looked at the most and whether the signage in the centre was noticed. 15 visitors to the centre were recruited to take part in the study, all intercepted as they entered the centre. We asked them to wear eye-tracking glasses and to use the centre to accomplish the goals of their visit. The ability to record these user journeys without constantly observing test participants was especially effective as it helped to make the whole testing session feel more realistic and avoided disturbing participants in any way. Data gathered from eye tracking glasses was imported into dedicated software package and analysed. Automatic analysis was performed on the demarked shelving. Manual coding analysis was also performed, focusing specifically on the amount of time participants spent looking at signage, advertising posters and retail shelves. The amount of and duration of these gazes were calculated in relation to total participants’ visit time. Based on the visitors’ journey recordings gathered with eye tracking glasses a ‘footfall heat map’ was created. Each time a person went to the particular area of the centre this occurrence was recorded and later mapped out in a form of a ‘heat map’ based on the frequency of visits. This helped our client understand where visitors go throughout their visit and which of the Information Centre’s areas receive more or less footfall. Findings allowed the client to both take remedial action in areas where the experience was not as effective as it could be, and to take advantage of the insight to maximise the revenue potential of various areas of the centre.
