The mixed research design is a progressive methodological discourse that combines the advantages of quantitative and qualitative methods. Its possibilities of application are, however, dependent on the efficiency with which the particular research techniques are used and combined. The aim of the paper is to introduce the possible combination of Hypothesis with EyeTribe tracker. The Hypothesis is intended for quantitative data acquisition and the EyeTribe is intended for qualitative (eye-tracking) data recording. In the first part of the paper, Hypothesis software is described. The Hypothesis platform provides an environment for web-based computerized experiment design and mass data collection. Then, evaluation of the accuracy of data recorded by EyeTribe tracker was performed with the use of concurrent recording together with the SMI RED 250 eye-tracker. Both qualitative and quantitative results showed that data accuracy is sufficient for cartographic research. In the third part of the paper, a system for connecting EyeTribe tracker and Hypothesis software is presented. The interconnection was performed with the help of developed web application HypOgama. The created system uses open-source software OGAMA for recording the eye-movements of participants together with quantitative data from Hypothesis. The final part of the paper describes the integrated research system combining Hypothesis and EyeTribe.

机译：混合研究设计是一种渐进的方法论话语，结合了定量和定性方法的优点。但是，其应用可能性取决于特定研究技术的使用和组合效率。本文的目的是介绍假设与EyeTribe跟踪器的可能组合。假设用于定量数据采集，而EyeTribe用于定性（眼动追踪）数据记录。在本文的第一部分中，描述了假设软件。假设平台为基于Web的计算机化实验设计和海量数据收集提供了一个环境。然后，与并发记录一起使用SMI RED 250眼动仪，对EyeTribe眼动仪记录的数据的准确性进行了评估。定性和定量结果均表明数据准确性足以用于制图研究。在论文的第三部分中，提出了一种用于连接EyeTribe跟踪器和Hypothesis软件的系统。在开发的Web应用程序HypOgama的帮助下进行了互连。创建的系统使用开源软件OGAMA记录参与者的眼球运动以及来自假设的定量数据。本文的最后一部分描述了结合假设和EyeTribe的集成研究系统。
