Abstract
The evaluation of the usability of user interfaces is a crucial element in the design of computer software and other products with user interfaces. Owing to the availability of good quality, affordable eye tracking equipment and the arguable visual nature of interacting with user interfaces, the use of this methodology in usability evaluation is increasing. However, recent studies indicate that the relationship between eye movements and task performance is not as straightforward as has been suggested previously. It was found that careful alterations in the design of user interfaces did not lead to the expected improvement in task performance. This calls into question the use of eye tracking as a tool to assess usability.
