Summary

Mouse movements may substitute eye tracking for attention studies. New methods quantify gaze-mouse interaction, suggesting natural coupling during tracing tasks, but this breaks with intentional eye movements.

Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Cognitive Science
  • Data Analytics

Background:

  • Eye movements reveal user attention in human-computer interaction (HCI) studies.
  • Eye tracking data is valuable but costly and time-consuming to collect.
  • Mouse movements are proposed as a more accessible alternative for attention analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel methodology for quantifying dynamic interaction between gaze and mouse pointer movements.
  • To investigate the relationship between eye and mouse movements in real-world tasks, specifically route-tracing.
  • To determine if mouse movements can serve as a proxy for eye tracking in certain contexts.

Main Methods:

  • Introduced a new movement analytics methodology using space-time densities for volumetric representation of movement.
  • Compared the new method with existing dynamic interaction techniques from movement ecology.
  • Conducted an experiment with simultaneous eye and mouse tracking during a map-based route-tracing task.

Main Results:

  • The new methodology successfully quantifies dynamic interaction between gaze and mouse trajectories.
  • A natural coupling between eye and mouse movements was observed during unconscious visual guidance.
  • This coupling significantly decreased when participants intentionally directed their eye movements.

Conclusions:

  • Mouse tracking may potentially substitute eye tracking for attention inference in naturalistic tracing tasks.
  • The observed coupling breakdown highlights the importance of task context and intentionality.
  • Further research is required to validate mouse tracking as a reliable proxy for attention in HCI.
