Session 2: Dashboard eye-tracking research

What elements in a dashboard subconsciously catch your eye? And how can you make sure that end users glean the most important information quickly and efficiently? Tableau has conducted several eye tracking studies to better understand exactly what happens when people encounter a dashboard for the first time.

Join Amy Alberts of the Tableau User Research Team and Andy Cotgreave as they:

  • Discuss how design elements affect where people look on dashboards
  • Share the exciting eye-tracking data collected over the years (and some of the eye-opening history that will make you glad to live in the 21st century)
  • Distill their findings into design tips that will help you make more effective dashboards

This is part two of six in our Foundations of Data Visualization seriesJoin us for part three to channel these design insights into creating more impactful dashboards.
