Abstract
The aim of this paper is to review the literaturę associated with the use of eye-tracking in evaluating the usability of software. Evaluation of the usability is a difficult process because of a significant role played by individual characteristics and preferences of the users. These individuals are strong impediments in formulating general patterns. Eye-tracking consists of measuring the movements of the eyeballs and mapping them to the elements in the space where the user’s eyesight is directed. This process is one of the basic tools for evaluating the usability of software. This paper at first discusses the importance of the usability of software and methods of its evaluation. The relationship between usability metrics and eye-tracking metrics is presented. Later, the eyetracking methodology is discussed. The history of the eye-tracking research is mentioned, as well as recommended configuration standards of the test procedures. The basics of vision physics and exemplary measurements are described. Then various experiments are listed and fields for further study are indicated. Knowledge in this topic is already established but further work is still needed, among others, in the area of standardisation, validation of new technologies and the simultaneous use of additional data sources (eg. FaceReader).
