OGAMA (Open Gaze And Mouse Analyzer): An open source software designed to analyze eye and mouse movements in slideshow study designs
Description
OGAMA is an open-source software written in C#.NET that allows recording and analyzing eye- and mouse-tracking data from slideshow-based experiments in parallel. It accepts ASCII format software and hardware recordings. The output from OGAMA can also be used as an input in other softwares. It works with other commercial eye trackers as well as with open-source eye trackers.
Analysis modules of OGAMA:
- Replay Module - replay the data that is logged during the experiment
- Areas of Interest Module - define and display areas of interest (AOI) on the given stimulus images
- Fixations Module - calculate and display the fixations made by the subjects
- Attention Map Module - calculate gaussian distributions of the fixational data and overlay it on the original stimulus image
- Saliency Module - calculate the salient locations on the stimulus images
- Database Module - view and edit the raw sampling data
- Statistic Module - calculate a lot of parameters useful for further analysis
- Scanpath Module - visualize different scanpaths of the subjects that can be grouped and compared
Recording modules of OGAMA:
- Slide Design Module - supply tools for creating different slide shows
- Recording Module - receive the sampling data from ITracker interfaces

Community: OGAMA community
Leadership: Dr. Adrian Voßkühler
Forking: Fork your own copy at this address https://github.com/avosskuehler/ogama, for which you will need a GitHub account.
Communication: The site has a contact form of the leader of the project available here: http://www.ogama.net/node/20. There is also a discussion forum at https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=ogama
Roadmaps:
Original goal:
- bundles of code for a large range of different eye trackers from different manufacturers into a single interface.
- open-source based on excisting libraries
Future goals:
Short term:
- better variable management and getting rid of some annoying bugs
- an analysis suite to complement the existing experimental library
Long term:
- incorporate support for more eye trackers and support for even more obscure peripherals
- support for electroencephalography
