Hi, your thinking about right now. In a few years time, eye tracking will be as widespread as webcams are today. Plus there are already tens of thousand eye trackers in the world. And as the technology is maturing, its becoming more available
So what does a user need to have for you to be able to track their eye movement?
Goodluck
Wait... So I would have to purchase a $99 "eye tracker" just so that some random website can follow my eye movement? Seriously? I understand the concept, but if it relies on 3rd party software/hardware for the user that has a camera to watch the user, it would never work. Good concept, but bad implementation.

The only way that this would be remotely feasible is if you were able to remotely turn on a user's camera - which won't happen and wouldn't be taken lightly by the end-users.
Ofcourse - all of this doesn't include the cost of awareness that it would take just to make remote use of eye-tracking. You say "tens of thousands" of eye trackers are on the market. With 7billion+ people in the U.S., it's highly likely that you wouldn't receive one person using an eye tracker in the next 10 years - in which you would need hundreds just to make a reasonable estimate on potential site adjustments.
I get what you are trying to do, but the market just isn't there. A better way would be user predictions - or predicting user actions and engagements. That technology is around but not heavily used yet in analytics and would be able to make similar predictions.

Of course I am talking about right now. Why would someone want to sign up for a service that they could "possibly" use several years from now? The wonderful thing about analytics is that it doesn't affect the user experience. If you user knows that a camera is going to be turned on when they visit your website, your user activity is going to drastically drop. Not to mention you are relying on the fact that not only w…

Yes, that would be feasible. In that aspect they have actual "testers" and not genuine users that you are generating data from.

Hi, Yes, we know them but they use web came for eye tracking and that has been always problem with those ideas. There are many like gazehawk but recording eye movement with normal web came is always a problem
