I've been on the beta of SB for a little while. Nice product and the guys have been pretty helpful with my questions so far. I'd recommend grabbing a trial account if you have an app to build anytime soon.
Re:Cluster analysis for concise results in eye tracking on Friday June 24, 2011 @05:41PM (#2694004)
Do you think that some form of dynamic time warping algorithm, performed on the data of each distinct group, could help give a better overall view of that group's behavior in a static heatmap image? Presuming participants share similar scanpaths within a group.

Just a thought, I understand the data may be too noisy / have too much variance for this to work in practice.

Modern eyetracking solutions can be quite accurate. I've used SR Research's Eyelink II [1] and have seen results from Tobii [2] eye trackers that are impressive too, considering their passive nature.

During my final year project for my BSc, I tried to address the problem of losing the temporal data from eye tracking in heatmaps with an accelerated replay, heatmap animation. Here's an example:

This video shows a selection of sittings from radiologists reporting on chest xrays.

If I recall correctly it is sped up approximately 5 x realtime.

Weirdly, this seems to be on the front page twice for me:

Re:Show HN: Chrome extension to alter page width on Friday May 13, 2011 @05:53PM (#2546342)
Just scratching an itch... A very simple extension to alter the width of a web page's body dynamically with a slider. I love reading articles on the web, but find it uncomfortable when then line lengths of the text are excessively long. This little extension aims to help with that.

My first venture into chrome extensions. Please feel free to offer constructive criticism for improvements etc.

Some example sites that it'll work on: http://terzza.com/example.html http://placr.co.uk/blog/2011/05/why-train-departure-informat... http://antirez.com/post/an-update-on-redis-and-lua.html
