"Eye tracking (...) holds out the promise of another window into the mind: the semi-magical ability to know what people are looking at. (...) Eye tracking can provide another set of useful clues about what [people are] thinking and why the product is confusing them." (Boijko, 2013). Eye tracking is a powerful tool to analyse a persons behaviour.
The aim of this project is to develop a tool that analyses nonverbal human interaction in existing eye tracking videos. This will be a fundamental contribution to the analysis of eye tracking data and will enable great insights in nonverbal human interactions.
