That wouldn’t be a problem unless I had access to it. You have to request to download it. Dr. Diederich and I have run into some issues regarding that, but I can work on other stuff in the meantime.

Here’s The Game Plan:

I tried to be as pessimistic as I could with the amount of time I would need for each task.

Some bad news regarding Eye Tracker is that it is only supported on Windows. I was hoping the application would be available for use on multiple platforms. That’s okay.

According to my Game Plan, I should start working on the user interface.

I’ll report back next week with how it looks!

The design.

With some time to think, I’ve deliberated in what I hope for the final product to look like.

A

The user runs the application and the start menu appears. The user selects an image for the user to look at during the trial.

B

After selection, the start menu disappears from view and the trial begins. The user looks at the image for a minute while the application tracks the user’s eye movements on the image.

C

To be decided. The application will either return a video of the eye tracking movements of the image or a heat-map image.

D

The user can now choose whether to download the video/image or to discard it.

E

If the user chooses to download, a file explorer will prompt the user to select where to download the video/image.

After either downloading or discarding, the user will be sent back to the start menu either to use the same image again, or to select a different image for the next trial.

For now, this is the game plan. I’m definitely not married to anything just yet, but any thoughts or considerations would be greatly appreciated.

My application will help psychological researchers to study cognitive processes by producing metrics based on participant eye movements. The Tobii Eye Tracker 5 will be the main device used for the application. It’s a camera with the added ability to return coordinates of where a participant is looking at. As of now, I have downloaded the Tobii Pro SDK and plan to use .NET for the application. To me, I find .NET makes it easier to build software, and I have experience making applications with .NET. I will continue to write blog posts weekly, so stay tuned for updates!
