- 565 abstract "This paper presents an eye-tracking study that examines how sighted people use visual elements of Web pages to complete certain tasks. Whilst these elements significantly aid sighted users, they frequently serve to hinder visually disabled users, who need to access pages in audio. Our previous work has introduced a framework that identifies these elements and then reengineers Web pages such that these elements can play their intended roles in an audio, as well as visual presentation. To further improve our understanding of how these elements are used and validate our approach, we track the eye movements of sighted users performing a number of different tasks. The resulting gaze data show that there is a strong relationship between the aspects of a page that receive visual attention and the travel objects identified by our framework. The study also shows some limitations, as well as yielding information to address these short-comings. Perhaps the most important result is the support provided for a particular kind of object called a Way Edge-the visual construct used to group content into sections. There is a significant effect of Way Edges on the distribution of attention across tasks. This is a result that not only provides strong evidence for the utility of reengineering, but also has consequences for our understanding of how people allocate attention to different parts of a page. We speculate that the phenomenon of Banner Blindness owes as much to Way Edges, as it does to colour and font size.".
