Eye Lab is an open source tool to create eye tracking usability tests. It started as a final undergraduation work for Computer Engineering of student Karine Pistili that created the first prototype. The idea is to evolve it to a more complete and useful tool with the help of the community.
The current version of the software allows users to create their usability sessions of an website, recording the webcam, screen and mouse movements and use this information to find out where the user has been looking into the screen by using heatmaps.
The project consists of two parts, this repository contains the backend of the application and the frontend can be found here. Install it as well.
