Qualtrics and (SMI) eyetracking

Hi all,
A colleague of mine wants to do eyetracking while participants are looking at screenshots in a Qualtrics survey (about each they also have to answer a number of questions). This is quite possible, but the eyetracker software does not segment the data per page, most probable because Qualtrics Surveys are a Single Page Web Application. We tried forcing a reload with javascript (hoping that the eytracker software will be triggered by a reload to know that a new page is visible), but a javascript forced reload of a question, just reloads the entire survey and makes the survey start at the beginning again.
Has anyone experience with (SMI) eytracking on a Qualtrics survey?

Thanks in advance,
Tiu

Hi Tiu,
you could try to conduct your eye tracking study with Eyevido Lab https://eyevido.de/en. This is a software specially developed for eye tracking on websites. Page changes triggered by JavaScript always generate a new screenshot. In the current version the software supports all SMI eye tracker which are compatible to the SMI REDn SDK.
Since you already have an eye tracker device, you can test the software without any risk for 14 days free of charge. If everything works well, there are good prices for academic research.
