Website usage heatmap
heatmap, javascript, web-applications
Solution
Try taking a look at this heatmap.js by Patrick Wied. Be sure to click on the `Display Website's RealTime Heatmap` button to see it in action.
The heatmap.js library is currently supported in Firefox 3.6+, Chrome 10, Safari 5, Opera 11 and IE 9+.
Problem
I have a web application I wish to find the usage patterns for. I wish to be able to track (and generate) usage heatmaps, I have checked this question and ClickHeat. The problem is those are good for tracking clicks. I want to track the usage by tracking mouse cursor location. The assumption is the mouse is mostly located where the user looks... `onmousemove` with a sample interval is what I currently have. Is there a JS library that does that more efficiently, or at least outside my site's code?
