Eye Tracking and Usability Research: A Qualitative Approach Presented to LA UPA February 1, 2011 By Jay Zaltzman, PresidentBureau West Marketing & Research
Who we are • Consortium of researchers • Conduct qualitative and quantitative research, both online and in-person • Including a good deal of website usability testing – usually from a qualitative point of view: combination observation and discussion • BTW, the Qualitative Research Consultants Association annual conference is in Vegas in Oct. • See qrca.org
Using Eye Tracking • Eye tracking has been part of our “arsenal” • I call it the "argument ender" • Empirical evidence regarding what web users notice, where they look first, where they hesitate, etc.
When we use eye tracking • Clients have specific design questions • Want to know where users have difficulty • Internal arguments about how users approach the site • But they usually also have conceptual questions
Our methodology • We combine eye-tracking with a qualitative interview • Provides context • Eye-tracking done together with Morae • How we do it • Video clip
Our methodology (continued) • We see where they look in real time • The conversation provides context • It causes some distraction, but distractions exist in real life, too!
Questions • …and discussion
