  Understanding how individuals focus and perform visual searches during
collaborative tasks can help improve user engagement. Eye tracking measures
provide informative cues for such understanding. This article presents
A-DisETrac, an advanced analytic dashboard for distributed eye tracking. It
uses off-the-shelf eye trackers to monitor multiple users in parallel, compute
both traditional and advanced gaze measures in real-time, and display them on
an interactive dashboard. Using two pilot studies, the system was evaluated in
terms of user experience and utility, and compared with existing work.
Moreover, the system was used to study how advanced gaze measures such as
ambient-focal coefficient K and real-time index of pupillary activity relate to
collaborative behavior. It was observed that the time a group takes to complete
a puzzle is related to the ambient visual scanning behavior quantified and
groups that spent more time had more scanning behavior. User experience
questionnaire results suggest that their dashboard provides a comparatively
good user experience.
