The Eye-Tracking Technology

The use of infrared technology plays a critical roll in eye-tracking: it allows one to draw connections from a psychological perspective between eye-movement data and neurological processes in the brain.



Eye-tracking analysis documents precisely what people notice - and what not. This is possible in many areas: during shopping, while reading an advertisement, looking over a catalogue, or surfing the net. With the assistance of eye-tracking, you can measure the effectiveness of packaging, advertisements, and products, in order to improve these accordingly and in this way distinguish yourself from the pack. By using eye-tracking, you can discover how attention is distributed across an advertisement, catalogue, or website, which will then allow you to guide that attention to the desired (advertising) message.

What is eye-tracking?

Eye-tracking involves the "tracking of eye movements". It is a method where the scanpath of a person's gaze, while looking over a picture, is traced and recorded. In the process, the movement of the eye across a display surface is caught for just as long as the eye fixates on a particular point. What is being measured, in other words, is the sequence, when, and how long the test subject gazes on a particular area of the image.
