Research Abstract |
Evaluation of Web usability with the help of gaze information involves plotting the gaze locus and estimating the gaze duration for an image on a Web page. In this method, input is required from the observer (at the position of the gaze) and the evaluator. Therefore, considerable time is required for analysis. The proposed method uses HTML features to automatically identify the objects viewed by an observer. The output of the tool is the gaze area and gaze time in a time series. Thus, by using the proposed tool to evaluate Web page and Web site usability, gaze information, which was analyzed qualitatively earlier, can be analyzed quantitatively.
