Videos of Individual Eyetracking Sessions
Ever wonder what your eyes really see when viewing a website? You may think you know, but the mind works fast -- and your eyes move around a page quickly, with a series of very short fixations on page elements and words. It's a good bet that you are not completely conscious of all the movements your eyes make when viewing a webpage.

In the videos on this page, we show you what it looks like through the eyes of a web user. The person tracked in these videos is viewing some of the mock websites created for Eyetrack III. However, this person was not one of our test participants; our guinea pig is a college-educated white male in his early 30s.

Don't take what you see too seriously. Everyone views a page slightly differently, and this is just a look through one person's eyes. Nevertheless, it's fascinating viewing.

A note about what you see: Blue dots represent fixations; as a fixation gets longer, the dot grows. Lines between the blue dots are saccades, which are the paths between fixations.
