You Are a *Real* Eye Tracking Researcher If…

1. A part of you dies every time you see a heatmap in place of proper data analysis.
2. You have in fact asked an eye tracker manufacturer to remove the heatmap feature from their software. (They didn’t.)
3. You used to think eye tracking was cool but that was like ages ago.
4. Your old eye trackers were lovingly named Dusk and Dawn, and you still remember the sleepless nights when technology just wasn’t what it is these days.
5. It makes you genuinely happy when someone knows which fixation identification algorithm they are using.
6. You cringe when people call counterbalancing “randomizing.”
7. It affects your relationship when you discover that your significant other can’t be calibrated.
8. You already came to terms with the fact that eye tracking is just not going to save the world.
9. Your roller derby name is EYE KILL YOU.
10. You got really excited about this list.
