TLDR
An eye-tracking study is presented in which 20 users viewed 361 Web pages while engaged in information foraging and page recognition tasks, and the concept of fixation impact is introduced, a new method for mapping gaze data to visual scenes that is motivated by findings in vision research.Abstract:
An understanding of how people allocate their visual attention when viewing Web pages is very important for Web authors, interface designers, advertisers and others. Such knowledge opens the door to a variety of innovations, ranging from improved Web page design to the creation of compact, yet recognizable, visual representations of long pages. We present an eye-tracking study in which 20 users viewed 361 Web pages while engaged in information foraging and page recognition tasks. From this data, we describe general location-based characteristics of visual attention for Web pages dependent on different tasks and demographics, and generate a model for predicting the visual attention that individual page elements may receive. Finally, we introduce the concept of fixation impact, a new method for mapping gaze data to visual scenes that is motivated by findings in vision research.read more

No clicks, no problem: using cursor movements to understand and improve search
TL;DR: Examining mouse cursor behavior on search engine results pages (SERPs), including not only clicks but also cursor movements and hovers over different page regions, helps to better understand how searchers use cursors on SERPs and can help design more effective search systems.

User see, user point: gaze and cursor alignment in web search
TL;DR: A search study is conducted to determine when gaze and cursor are aligned, and thus when the cursor position is a good proxy for gaze position, and improves the state-of-the-art technique for approximating visual attention with the cursor.

TL;DR: Based on users' revisitation patterns to World Wide Web pages, eight design guidelines for web browser history mechanisms were formulated and explain why some aspects of today's browsers seem to work well, and other's poorly.
