iComp: a tool for scanpath visualization and comparison

Published:28 July 2006Publication History

ABSTRACT

To evaluate differences across viewers' visual attentional patterns, scanpath comparison has recently gained popularity in eye tracking studies, supplementing traditional objective (performance) and subjective measures (e.g., heat maps or [retrospective] talk-aloud). We introduce iComp, an open-source visualization tool that implements quantitative scanpath comparison in loci and sequence. iComp can be used to objectively compare the attentional qualities of synthetic images.
