Abstract
Coordinating viewpoints with another person during a collaborative task can provide informative cues on human behavior. Despite the massive shift of collaborative spaces into virtual environments, versatile setups that enable eye-tracking in an online collaborative environment (distributed eye-tracking) remain unexplored. In this study, we present DisETrac- a versatile setup for eye-tracking in online collaborations. Further, we demonstrate and evaluate the utility of DisETrac through a user study. Finally, we discuss the implications of our results for future improvements. Our results indicate promising avenue for developing versatile setups for distributed eye-tracking.
