OGAMA
OGAMA is Windows freeware for recording and analyzing eye-tracking and mouse-tracking data in slideshow experiments.
What OGAMA is
OGAMA is Windows freeware for recording and analyzing eye-tracking and mouse-tracking data in slideshow experiments. It supports direct recording with Tobii, alea, and SMI systems, as well as the ITU Gazetracker open-source solution; it can also import ASCII recordings from eye-tracking and presentation software or hardware. Its analysis tools include database-driven preprocessing and filtering, attention maps, areas of interest, saliency calculations, Levenshtein distances, and replay with AVI recording. Results can be output for direct use with statistical software packages. OGAMA is an open-source project written in C#.NET, and its code can be adapted. The ITU Gazetracker option uses infrared-ready webcams or a modified PlayStationEye camera. The maintainer announced in May 2016 that support had stopped because they no longer had time for support and feature requests. The listed plan is Freeware at no cost.
