Abstract

In this chapter we analyse 10 distinct RVSP modes drawn from across the whole range of static, moving and multiple entry/exit modes in terms of the visual search, steady gaze, nystagmus and visual pursuit characterisations introduced in the previous chapter. Eye-gaze response behaviour is analysed with quantitative data and fully illustrated with gaze plots of fixations and saccades, temporal plots of the x and y coordinates of gaze position (XY-T), and cumulative gaze activity heatmaps. Consideration is given to the reason why, at any instant, gaze might move to a new position and the influence this might have on RSVP design.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Cooper et al. (2006) report that at least one user adopted a nystagmatic gaze behaviour in this Ring mode—coupled to a dislike of the mode!

  2. 2.

    Conducted in collaboration with the University of Pavia.

  3. 3.

    We also performed a linear regression on several instances of gaze track data, but these computed values were not sufficiently different from those obtained by manual estimation to cause any concern.

  4. 4.

    Corsato et al’s Grid mode is a close equivalent to Cooper et al’s Tile mode and is omitted from consideration here.

  5. 5.

    Only the start time of the user key press response is recorded in the experiment data, so the length of the magenta section is arbitrary and not significant here.

  6. 6.

    This Collage mode RSVP differed from the design by Wittenburg et al. (1998, 2000, illustrated in Fig. 1.3) in that a very large number of images are visible on the display at any one time.
