Mouse Tracking

Feature Suggestions
1

So, my English is very bad but i hope you can read this style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif
My Wish is that Piwik include Mouse Tracking, a Open Source Mousetracking Software is available here: Simple Mouse Tracking

Ich würde Mouse Tracking sehr begrüssen, eine Open Source Mousetracking Software gibt es hier: Simple Mouse Tracking.

If you’re talking about click heat maps, please see http://dev.piwik.org/trac/ticket/73

No, I talking about complete Mousetracking. Example here: http://smt.speedzinemedia.com/smt/test/domload.php

cool feature - i am testing it right now!

Yes, i like it too :slight_smile:
I am currently working to write a Addon for Piwik, but i haven’t much free time so it may take longer time :slight_smile:

Zur Zeit arbeite ich daran ein Addon für Piwik schreiben, da ich aber (leider) nicht viel freie Zeit habe, könnte es länger dauern bis ich fertig bin :slight_smile:

Ok. My gut feeling at this time is to leave this to a third-party plugin. After Piwik 1.0 is out, we can re-evaluate proposals and submissions for inclusion.

Please see:
http://dev.piwik.org/trac/wiki/PiwikDevelopmentProcess

Factors working against inclusion are:

  • the mouse event recording is visitor+page specific
  • this is also potentially a lot of data to transmit and store thru Piwik
  • in the absence of heat maps, there’s very little to be aggregated and reported statistically

wow, this would be a crazy feature style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

This looks interesting - it would be a very good idea to write a specification before doing too much coding, as we can help defining the feature set and the scope of the plugin. My main concern, like vipsoft, would be around data size and, but this is probably not easily doable, aggregating this data to have a global view on how mouse interactions happen on a given page. Let us know what your thoughts are

Hi,

id like to give something to the community, i am not a developer, but at least i wanted to share this little webbased application, which perhaps could be integrated into piwik.

seems to be very stable and it is maintained.

more on:
smt.speedzinemedia.com/smt/

demos / also video:

smt.speedzinemedia.com/smt/demos.php

hope this is helpful for the community,

greetings Xetra-Max

Small Update:

just saw in the “comments” of the Page that the system is also capable of creating 2 heatmaps: one of type “Fog” and the other one of type “Shadow”

see here:

smt.speedzinemedia.com/smt/comments.php

Quote: “ani: I’ve implemented 2 kind of heatmaps, called ‘fog’ and ‘shadow’ (see figure 4 in this paper). I’ll try to release version 2.0.1 hopefully in 1 week, if I have enough free time to do the last tuning.”

It will be an amazing feature… IMHO the amount of data will be not so huge… As smt log in particular the coordinates x,y of the mouse movements, all this infos are simple text data.

In any case…
@Anybody
Are you still working on the third-party plug-in? I’m very interested on it, and it will be nice to work together…
Also if other are interested on it… please let us know…

Cheers style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

It will be an amazing feature…

Take a look also here…

For every one that is interested on working on a third-party plug-in, feel free to contact me… it will be nicer to work together…

Cheers

Is there any development on a plugin for mouse tracking? I’d like to see if I can help.

I think the data from mouse tracking can be put to good analysys, such as play the user’s mouse movements, click heatmap, mouse movement heatmap.

I like the the mouse move heatmap, that clicktale have developed (www.clicktale.com/product/mouse_move_heatmaps). I think this is a better heatmap than the mouse click heatmap.

As soon as i can have this feature it will be awesome to track the visitor and optimize our web page

15

I like it. It will be an great feature (:smiley:

16

Can you even imagine the opportunities this could give to web designers. Where’s the rss button (:smiley:

17

Any news on that idea?

I know there is:
http://dev.piwik.org/trac/ticket/73

But this is not the same as:
http://smt.speedzinemedia.com/demos.php
http://www.patrick-wied.at/static/heatmapjs/

Especially tracking the mouse movement - not just the clicks wouldt be great.

18

That real awesome in my web-store marketing research! Sort of anolog of eye-traking in FMCG retail research!

Good news: we’re working on Heatmap Analytics for Piwik + scrollmap + click map! It will be awesome and make sure to hear when it’s released by signing up here: http://www.heatmap-analytics.com/

We've just released Heatmap + Session Recording for Piwik Analytics!

More info:

  • Heatmaps show you where on a page your visitors click, move the mouse and how far down they scroll so you can discover which content your visitors actually pay attention to, where your content is confusing, and whether your content is engaging. Based on this information you can improve your content and page structure and ultimately increase your conversions.
  • Session Recordings lets you record all clicks, mouse movements, scrolls and form interactions of a visitor so you can replay them in a video. See exactly what your visitors did on your website to truly understand them. Find out where they have problems or get confused to improve usability and conversions.

Comes with 100% data ownership, full control over your data, and no limitations.
