iTrace-Chrome Plugin

Plugin which allows for tracking eye gaze data on webpages in Chrome. Once connected to a tracker and after a quick calibration, the developer is free to work within their development environment while iTrace captures gazes as they are doing the task. These gazes will be mapped to specific code elements via a post processing module. We designed iTrace with extensibility in mind. We support the adding of additional eye trackers. This application and all supporting tools will assist research into software developer habits and behavior. When a session is finished the core and plugin will both produce a set of recorded data about the study in XML format. The response records are joined by the session-time field in each gaze response record.
