Apparatus to register the eye fixations of computer users
2006-01-23

Die Departement Rekenaarwetenskap en Informatika aan die Universiteit van die Vrystaat (UV) het 'n gesofistikeerde apparaat ter waarde van R230 000,00 in gebruik geneem waarmee die oogfiksasies van rekenaargebruikers geregistreer kan word.  Die UV is die eerste tersiêre instelling in Afrika wat met 'n hierdie apparaat, genaamd die Eye Tracker, kan spog. 

 

Die Eye Tracker bepaal die presiese punt op die rekenaarskerm waarna 'n gebruiker kyk en sal aangewend word om gebruikerinteraksie met rekenaarprogrammatuur te bestudeer.  Terugvoer aan rekenaarprogramontwikkelaars sal verseker dat programme gebruikersvriendelik is sodat gebruikers nie noodsaaklike interaksie-elemente miskyk nie.  Die Eye Tracker sal ook onder meer deur die UV se Departement Mikrobiese, Biochemiese & Voedselbiotegnologie  gebruik word om te bepaal of studente na die korrekte data in grafieke kyk.
