Cool. So it sounds like it is worth a go.  Will see what the options are. I know the people in psychology are interested in collaboration.

Hi Graeme,

We have done recent studies where we have used eye tracking data as measures of the influence of a technical design - we were using the ASL mobile eye platform I think - but again it was borrowed off someone else (a German research group). I do have some experience of analysing data qualitatively from individuals' perspectives rather than a 3rd-party view more traditional of video analysis - its not as easy as it sounds if what you're after is about social interaction rather than individual perception - but certainly valuable and interesting; and without doing a literature search, relatively novel as a methodology I think. I don't think we've ever built anything which actually used eye tracking data in real time to drive the 'context awareness' of an application ie used eye tracking as a technology rather than a methodology. I think Hans Gellersen in Lancaster has an EPSRC project doing something along those lines but I haven't seen any results yet.

Hi all,

I had a meeting with Nick Donnelly from our psychology department today. We had spoken in the summer about some of the kit he has for recording simultaneous eye movement and the videoing what people are looking at. His team are using this for other research but we also have the possibility to use it in our work. I know that Tom would be keen to capture an idea of the way archaeologists look around the site and interact with tools, devices, eachother etc. Angeliki could also make extensive use of this in her PhD research by tracking motion of people on her sites. So, my proposal is that this gear goes out to Portus for a few days when Tom is there in April. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? In particular I would be interested to know if this could also be of value to the intervention?

Mike F - I would be interested in your thoughts? Might be of wider interest to the project. I will of course circulate widely if we think this is worth pursuing.

All the best,

Graeme
