Defining gazes.

(a) We interpolate missing data only if less than eight samples are missing consecutively (pupil detection with less than 50% probability) and if these samples occur between two clusters on the same collider. During the interpolation process, these samples are then unified with the two clusters to form a new cluster on the same collider. The first row shows three clusters of missing samples (marked noData), while the second row represents the result of the algorithm. In the first cluster (green box), both interpolation conditions apply: there are fewer than eight consecutive missing data samples (#4) and they are surrounded by two clusters on the same collider. Consequently, these missing samples are interpolated and combined to a new cluster. In the second cluster (1st orange box) the first interpolation condition applies (#noData samples < 8) but the cluster occurs between clusters on two different colliders (H103 and H54). Therefore, no interpolation is performed. In the third cluster (2nd orange box) only the second interpolation condition applies. Even though the missing data samples occur between two clusters on the same collider (H55), the first interpolation condition is violated (#noData samples ≥ 8). Consequently, no interpolation is performed. (b) Histogram of hit point cluster length distribution after interpolation. The distribution is visualized between 0 and 1033 ms. The longest hit point cluster on a house has a duration of 18.9 seconds. The ordinate corresponds to the probability of each duration. Since previous work used gamma distributions to model the distribution of fixation durations or response latencies [39,40], we model the two partly overlapping gamma distributions for visualization only, fitting the distributions of the duration of fixations (green) and non-fixation events (grey). The dashed red line marks the separation threshold for gazes. (c) The pie chart shows the result of the gaze classification across all participants.
