Task description
Goal: The Analysis-Toolkit WHOSE [1] can load, process and present Usage Data from log files of web-based information systems and digital libraries in an user interface. System operator and scientists will be able to examine how searchers use the system, where the weaknesses are and how the information search of the system can be improved. The aim of this project is to extend the tool in a way that additionally mouse- and eyetracking data from user experiments can be used for the analysis. Therefore, the cadidate should first implement a mouse tracking solution in JavaScript. This solution should measure the resting time of the mouse pointer on different areas of the website. This data should be combined with eyetracker data. The combined data should than be presented in the WHOSE-Visualization so that it can be used for the analysis.
Tasks:
- Development of a mouse tracking solution (JavaScript)
- Integration of data from mouse tracking and eyetracking
- Development of an interactive visual presentation of the new data at the WHOSE-Tool
Language of this work: German or english
This thesis can also be processed as bachelor thesis. The volume will be adjusted to the conditions.
