Uncertainty-Aware Scarf Plots

Human-Computer Interaction 2025-05-09 v1

Abstract

Multiple challenges emerge when analyzing eye-tracking data with areas of interest (AOIs) because recordings are subject to different sources of uncertainties. Previous work often presents gaze data without considering those inaccuracies in the data. To address this issue, we developed uncertainty-aware scarf plot visualizations that aim to make analysts aware of uncertainties with respect to the position-based mapping of gaze to AOIs and depth dependency in 3D scenes. Additionally, we also consider uncertainties in automatic AOI annotation. We showcase our approach in comparison to standard scarf plots in an augmented reality scenario.
