I am actually intrigued by what Eye-tracking technology could offer. I understand that the data is only as good as what kind of meaning we put towards it - but then again, isn't that inherent in nearly everything we do?
The users tell us like it is - but then we find out in research that it isn't so. We go by the user's actions instead. So taking that into consideration, shouldn't eye-tracking provide some sort of validation in the physical sense? And what about not really knowing what the problem is? While we may be able to capture mouse-clicks, where the user looks first and in those subsequent times, should we then just take a guess or use eye-tracking? I'm in the process of designing web applications (not websites) and would like to know if anyone's used eye-tracking for that, taking into consideration its flaws and strengths as discussed by Jared and the others. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
