c. WebGazer.ns
d. WebGazer.ls

ANSWER: WebGazer.js
 
Scientists have developed software turning webcams into eye trackers for making websites more user friendly. Software called WebGazer.js can infer where on the webpage a user is looking and can be added to any website with just few lines of code and run on the browser of the user
  • User’s permission is required to access the webcam and no video is shared
  • Only the location of the user’s gaze is reported back to the website in real time
  • This is a democratisation of eye tracking, according to Alexandra Papoutsaki , a graduate student of Brown University in the US who led the software development
  • Anyone can add WebGazer to the site and get a richer set of analytics as against tracking clicks or cursor movements
  • Using webcams integrated in user computers eliminates the cost factor
