I lost the reference, but you can get even better mapping between mouse movement and the eyes by blacking out the page and have just a circle around where the mouse is that shows the content.

The paper was ‘poor man’s eye tracking’ or something like that from a number of years ago.

But here’s another example, it blurs out the rest of the page instead of blacking it out, so that you have to move the mouse to focus on an area:

Which tools can be used to generate click heatmaps of rich internet applications?…

I think the bigger question is, what do you need this information for? What decisions to you plan to make based on the data you’ll get? The answers to these questions will guide the method (click tracking, eye tracking, or some other method), and ther…

Well, when you think about it, it is clear that you look at your mouse pointer when you want to click on something but that doesn´t say what the visitor read on the page.
