Abstract

The increase in usage of eye-tracking technology to study text translation processes has revealed the need for effective tools for visualization of the data collected. We propose a new method for gaze and keystroke data visualization. The visualization utilizes the preprocessed gaze data, where detected fixations are linked to the corresponding word in the text. The blocks of reading and typing processes are shown in parallel with details for each word presented in word bars. Reading or typing sequences provide insight into the temporal distribution of the subject's activity, and highlighting pops up the unusual or attention-requiring data and events.
