GazePlotter – tool for eye movement sequences visualization

Eye-tracking is becoming widely used in cartography to study user visual behaviour while reading maps (Krassanakis & Cybulski, 2021).In these studies, focusing on the cognitive or perceptual aspects of human vision, cartographers benefit from the knowledge and experimental techniques adopted from cognitive scientists, neuroscientists, or psychologists.Krassanakis and Cybulski (2019) reviewed the state of the art concerning eye-tracking in cartography.They divided eye movement research into several categories -user studies focused on design principles, studies comparing 2D and 3D, studies comparing map users (experts, novices), and studies presenting eye-tracking analysis tools and methods delivered by cartographic community.A considerable number of these tools that have been created by cartographers exist (Doležalová & Popelka, 2016;Göbel et al., 2019;Herman et al., 2017;Kiefer & Giannopoulos, 2012;Krassanakis et al., 2014;Sultan et al., 2022).Cartographers are working with visual representations of (spatial) data on daily basis, so their contribution to the field of eye-tracking data visualization is logical.
