What is Alpscarf?

Alpscarf is an extension of scarf plots that helps analysts to explore temporal patterns in eye movement data. We augment scarf plot with visual components: mountains present when a sequence of AOI visits conforms to a specified pattern, and valleys indicate revisiting behavior. [PDF] [PosterCHI18]
