QUIET EYE SOLUTIONS© (QES) SOFTWARE
QES is a software program that synchronizes the gaze
video collected by any mobile eye tracker with a video of the participant's
movements. A simple interface plays both
videos perfectly in time thus permitting the simultaneous coding of the individual's gaze and movements. The data includes the location, onset, offset and
duration of fixations, pursuit tracking and saccades as well the onset, offset and
durations of phases of the movement. The Quiet Eye is determined, which is a fixation or tracking gaze shown through research
to be a characteristic of both higher levels of skill and performance in
a wide range of tasks.
