Mouse Tracking Tool.

Demonstration

Status: Ready

A discussion of the uses and limitations of server-side mouse tracking:

• Uses:
  • Web based versions of traditional interaction systems:
    • Web based VNC (Remote Frame Buffer) client (e.g., ajaxvnc)
    • Web based Remote Desktop (Windows RDP) client (e.g., ajaxrd)
    • Web based toolkit (e.g., TkWeb)
    • Web based presentation layer (e.g., WebUI)
  • Advertisment
    • A method to detect if people are viewing your page actively (if they, their mouse will probably be moving)
    • Do people move their mouses in any particular pattern over your advertisement that might indicate that care about it at all ?
  • Usability Studies
    • Conduct research into how people are using your web page
  • Malicious
    • Can your mouse movement be used against you in some interesting ways ?
• Limitations:
  • Speed
  • Time
