EyeMap - Eye Movement Data Analyzer
Description
EyeMap is a visualization and analysis tool for viewing, filtering, and processing eye movement (gaze) data from reading or other psychology experiments. It can process Unicode, proportion/non-proportion and spaced/unspaced reading materials, which supports various languages and experiment methods. EyeMap has advanced features for text stimulus presentation, eye movement data visualization, interest area extraction, and experimental variable calculation.
Advantages of EyeMap:
- Easy gaze data editing: move/align fixations using mouse/keyboard
- Supports binocular data analysis for unicode, proportional, and nonproportional fonts and spaced and unspaced scripts
- Platform independent and can also work on mobile devices
- Visualize and replay eye movement events and raw data
- Works with other eye-trackers like: SR EyeLink series and Tobii series
- Supports dynamical calculation and exporting of more than 100 different types of reading-related variables
- EyeMap has online version that allows users to analyze their eye movement data through a standard Web browser

Roadmaps:
Original goals:
- Produce a more effective tool that allows psychologists to gain more insight into their eye movement reading data
- An XML-based open standard for the representation of data from a range of eye-tracking platforms;
- The implementation of full Unicode support, significantly improving the ease with which different writing systems can be studied;
- The development of support for integrating a speech stream with the eye movement record;
- A facility for analyzing binocular data in a more integrated way than has heretofore been possible.
