Programs designed for Android operating systems that monitor an individual’s gaze direction are the focus of this discussion. These applications utilize the front-facing camera on devices to record and analyze eye movements, providing data points about where a user is looking on the screen. An example is an application that tracks a user’s focus during an online learning module to gauge comprehension.
The ability to analyze visual attention opens significant avenues in areas such as usability testing, accessibility enhancements, and even marketing research. Historically, dedicated hardware was required for such analysis, making it inaccessible for widespread adoption. Software solutions on mobile platforms democratize access, allowing for broader application of gaze-based insights. These solutions have the potential to make digital experiences more intuitive and accessible for diverse user groups.
