ABSTRACT
The visual analytics systems might be evaluated by human users generating eye tracking data, while visual analytics is used again to analyze this eye tracking data but based on the human users with their tasks and hypotheses in mind. In the field of eye tracking, people might suffer from visual and perceptual disorders that do not allow reliably recording eye movement data from those participants. The eye–mind hypothesis can have a negative impact for the whole eye tracking data analysis and visualization community, depending on whether we believe in it or not. For a visual analytics system it might be a challenge to reliably connect itself with the recorded eye movement data. Many application fields could benefit from eye tracking as well as visual analytics in combination.
