A comparative usability analysis of eye-tracking and mouse click data taken from digital libraries

This dataset is the result of a study, in which we analyzed parallels and differences between clicks as well as eye movements on two different digital library homepages. For this analysis we used diverse tracking tools for mouse clicks and eye tracking data that where further studied with respect to specific areas of interest (AOI).  

The dataset contains two screenshots indicating the areas of interest (AOIs; entitled “AreasOfInterest_Kartenportal.jpg and AreasOfInterest_Webportal.jpg), which separate the homepages into analyzable parts. It also contains eight screenshots of the homepages containing the total amount of collected clicks (each name starting with “clicks”) and two screenshots with the eye tracking heat maps (starting with “Heatmap”). The screenshots have directly been extracted from the click and eye tracking tools and matched with the before mentioned AOIs in order to gain the total count of clicks and views as well as the view duration the concerned area.

All data are synthesized in a document containing three sheets with different tables: a first one with the initial data compilation for all AOIs of the two analyzed homepages (entitled “Data”), a second one with a more visual compiled data analysis for both homepages and all AOIs (entitled “Data2) and last one with the duration of the view as well as the duration of the fixation and the compiled click data (entitled « Eye tracking study data »).
