We ask you to apply your newest and most exciting analytical tools to a human eye movement data set. The data set is provided on the ETRA website and includes the eye movements of 8 participants performing different tasks, including visual searches and exploration of a variety of stimuli and scenes. The Challenge Track at ETRA’19 is a new and exciting opportunity, not only to contribute to ETRA, but to present your analytical tools and approaches to other researchers—and maybe inspire them to try novel or alternative ways of data analysis! You can find more information about the data format and a detailed summary of the data collection procedures on the ETRA website as well: <a href="https://etra.acm.org/2019/challenge.html">https://etra.acm.org/2019/challenge.html</a> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Challenge reports can be up to 4 pages.
