Jared - After reviewing the video, I was hoping you would expand your thoughts on the validity of eye tracking data and ouija boards and correlation to thought processes. You've suggested that fixations don't offer any evidence/insight/it's false etc.
And what in the video was supposed to show me that it offered any insights? I missed them. I just saw a repeat of findings that I knew without having to watch the eye tracking display, but just working with users in a traditional usability test. Where was the thing I'd only discover watching eye movements?
Maybe I'm just too dense to understand this eye tracking stuff, despite the hundreds of hours I've sat in studies watching people interact with them?
It's clear that I'm not smart enough for this new technology. I think that's the message we can take from this seemingly-endless thread.
