We’re watching you as Eye Tracker shows customer behaviour | Print |  Email to a friend

Outdoor media specialist, Eye, has released its latest tracking research online to help agencies get the most out of their campaigns.

The Eye Tracking tools use analytics taken from consumers at Manchester Airport’s T1 and T3.

The agency says it’s the first research of its kind to measure, capture and analyse real behaviour, in real environments.

Participants wore special glasses with built in cameras which recorded their eye movements and field of vision to see what caught their attention.

The results are now available on the website.

“We are delighted to launch this interactive tool to offer ease and flexibility to clients and agencies when planning and developing their next campaign using Eye Tracking key engagement findings,” said Cassandra Thomas-Smith.

She added that research showed which combination of size and format gets the maximum exposure.

Those who took part in the study were both male and female, with 58 pre-recruited participants and Airport visitors who were travelling on the day of the experiment.

“With the information provided in the Eye Tracking online tool, users will be able to fine-tune their campaign to more strategically align with the advertisers communication objectives,” Thomas-Smith added.


The media operator has worked with Manchester Airports Group since 2006.

If this could be applied to website design it would be fascinating. Maybe revolutionising their design?

Some companies have already started to use eye-tracking for websites. US firm User Centric did a test on how people looked at Google and Bing differently (which you can read about in the blog below) and what implications that had. Also, similarly, a lot of agencies use heatmaps to see where visitors place cursors on web pages. This can inform where CTAs are placed and whether images are made clickable, etc etc.
