Since its inception, eye tracking has been employed by cognitive scientists to study reading, learning, attention, and neurology; by marketers to examine the effectiveness of ad and package designs; and by human factors engineers to guide automotive and airplane cockpit design. These and other disciplines have had great success leveraging eye tracking as a behavioral research method and to inform the design of communications and interactions. Recently, as eye tracking technology has become more affordable and accessible, academics, research suppliers, and eye tracking equipment makers have been experimenting with applying eye tracking to behavioral research in new domains.

WAVE is a free web accessibility evaluation tool. It is used to aid humans in the web accessibility evaluation process. Rather than providing a complex technical report, WAVE shows the original web page with embedded icons and indicators that reveal the accessibility of that page.
Just enter the URL of a webpage you want to test and that is all. So if you care about web accessibility, you have to check it out:
URL: http://wave.webaim.org/
WAVE是一个简单的网络应用，它的目的就是帮你检测网页上的可用性漏洞，当然都是一些基础的检测，但是这个测试仅仅需要你输入一下网址，多么方便啊。检测之后，会给出一份简单的报告，只不过没有指明具体是哪个出了问题。如果能给出一些改进方法那就更好了⋯⋯汗，我变的越来越懒了。
