Abstract

When conducting eye tracking studies, having a mechanism to collect data, build workflows, and validate results in a FAIR (i.e., findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) manner, facilitates automation. Given the vast landscape of vendor-specific eye tracking software, adopting FAIR metadata standards for the eye tracking domain is one step towards this. In this paper, we propose an approach to simplify the creation, execution, and validation of eye tracking studies through metadata. Using a metadata format that we developed, we first describe two eye trackers, and two datasets collected using them. Next, we use this metadata to simulate real-time data collection by replaying each dataset. From this replayed data, we analyze eye movements in real-time, and synthesize eye movement data from analytics in real-time. Based on our results, we discuss the utility of metadata in real-time eye tracking studies, and how this idea can be generalized into other applications.

"ACM treats links as citations (references to objects) rather than as incorporations (embedding of objects). Permission is not needed to create links to citations in The ACM Digital Library or Online Guide to Computing Literature. ACM encourages the widespread distribution of links to the definitive Version of Records of its copyrighted works in the ACM Digital Library and does not require that authors obtain prior permission to include such links in their new works.

However, someone who creates a work or a service whose pattern of links substantially duplicates an ACM-copyrighted volume or issue should get prior permission from ACM. One example: the creator of "A Table of Contents for the Current Issue of TODS" -- consisting of citations and active links to author-versions of the works in the latest issue of TODS -- needs ACM permission because that creator is reproducing an ACM-copyrighted work. If all the links in the "Table of Contents" pointed to the ACM-held definitive Version of Records, ACM would normally give permission because then the new work advertises an ACM work. To avoid misunderstandings, consult with ACM before duplicating an ACM work via links.

If an author wishes to embed a copyrighted object---rather than a link---in a new work, that author needs to obtain the copyright holder's permission."
