Adding AOI visibility data

GazePlotter supports the upload of AOI visibility data, allowing for the effective visualization of dynamic AOIs and their visibility in the stimulus. This enhances interpretability of the data and allows for more detailed analysis.

Getting AOI visibility data

This feature is available only for SMI BeGaze and Tobii Pro Lab data.
