__________

We're reimagining the Control Room of the Future, where advanced data tools support better decision-making in complex environments like energy grid operations. A key focus of our research is understanding how operators interact visually with large-scale information displays. To do this, we use eye-tracking technology to capture detailed visual attention patterns, and synchronise it with workstation-level video and researcher notes. 

About Gazealytics

We use Gazealytics to support the analysis of eye-tracking data in context. Gazealytics is an open-source visual analytics toolkit for eye-tracking research, available here: https://github.com/gazealytics/gazealytics-master. It can help researchers synchronise and analyse eye-tracking data alongside other data streams such as video recordings and observer notes.

Your Role

You will help to extend Gazealytics' capabilities for more advanced visual and temporal analysis. Key development tasks may include:

• Implement temporal Area of Interest (AOI) tracking
• Develop visual overlays of gaze data on synchronised video
• Enhance the timeline-based data synchronisation (eye-tracking, video, notes)
• Optimise for performance and scalability with large video datasets
• Improve the frontend UX for easier data navigation and filtering

Tech Stack

• Frontend: JavaScript (with D3.js for visualisation), HTML5, CSS3
• Backend: Python (Flask)
• Data Handling: JSON-based data structures, TSV imports, temporal data synchronisation
• Version Control: GitHub
