Improving Communication Between Pair Programmers Using Shared Gaze Awareness
summary
A left-margin gaze widget that is five lines high by 20 pixels wide shows where a remote partner looks and turns green when both look at the same area. A controlled within-subject 2x2 study with 12 professional engineers refactoring a single-file Flappy Bird codebase compares paired sessions with and without the visualization. With the widget, pairs spend more time concurrently looking at the same code, use more deictic references, acknowledge those references more often, and complete referential coordination faster and more successfully.
