social interaction. MAGiC is a tool for the analysis of social behavior. It
enables researchers to overlay gaze data on top of dynamic or static scenes and
associates it with the speech information at that moment. MAGiC expands the
capacity of current eye tracking technologies by integrating automated face
tracking to detect whether a human participant is looking at the interlocutor’s
face, and if so, which part of the face is being looked at. Then, it integrates
area-of-interest that is relative to the position of interlocutor's face, with automatically
segmented and semi-automatically annotated speech-data. Specifically, MAGiC
provides functionalities for:</span></p>
