May Event: The Great Eye-tracking Debate
In a change to our normal venue, the UKUPA has been invited by Bunnyfoot to hold our May event at their offices at Westbourne Studions, London.
This event will revisit the hot topic of eye-tracking and will take the form of a debate. Taking opposite sides of the argument will be Kara Pernice, Managing Director of Nielsen Norman Group, debating why you do not need to use eye-tracking for web usability studies, and Robert Stevens, Co-founder of Bunnyfoot telling us why you absolutely positively must.
The event promises to be lively and informative and there will be a vote at the end. Make sure you come along and hear the compelling arguments as well as have your say at the end!
