SUMMARY
CLASSIFICATION OF EYE-TRACKING SYSTEMS WITH APPLICATIONS IN CARTOGRAPHY
Eng. Nikoleta Nikolova
The map is a tool for communication and information transfer. Cartographers have always searched for the best methods for visualizing geographic data and evaluating the effectiveness and informational content of their maps. The use of eye-tracking systems has emerged to assist in assessing the usability and practicality of cartographic products.
This article proposes a classification of eye-tracking systems specifically applied to the needs of cartography, focusing on the historical development, hardware, and software components, as well as specific technologies used for gaze monitoring. The aim of the research is to provide a systematic review of different approaches and technologies, analyzing their advantages and limitations in the context of cartographic applications.
The object of study includes various types of eye-tracking systems, categorized by different criteria, with a primary focus on tools for collecting data on user perception and the technologies used in its subsequent processing. The accuracy and effectiveness of these systems are evaluated to achieve a better understanding of users ' visual perceptions, as well as the algorithms for fixation and saccade analysis. The main contribution of the article is the classification of hardware and software solutions for eyetracking, as well as a discussion of their applicability to cartography. Based on the research, the article highlights both the advantages and limitations of modern technologies, offering guidelines for their integration into cartographic tasks.
Keywords: eye-tracking, cognitive cartography, gaze plots, user experience, stimulus, usability.
РЕЗЮМЕ
Картата е инструмент за комуникация и пренос на информация. Картографите винаги са търсели най-добрите методи за визуализация на географски данни, като оценяват ефективността и съдържанието на информацията в картите си. На помощ за оценяването на използваемостта и практичността на картографския продукт влиза употребата на т. нар. системи на следене на погледа.
Настоящата статия предлага класификация на системите за следене на погледа с приложение конкретно за нуждите на картографията, като се фокусира върху историческото
