Eye tracking is a widely used method for analyzing human behavior. Using fixation calculations, heat map visualizations, shadow maps and other methods, behavior can quickly and easily be explored and understood. Whether in the laboratory, real environment, or the virtual world, our eye tracking solutions enable users to freely choose the location for conducting studies. D-Lab Eye Tracking accompanies you reliably through all study phases.
D-Lab Eye Tracking comes in three different versions: Head Mounted, Remote or Virtual Reality. Find out how eye tracking can support you in your studies. Just click on one of the three methods shown above.
PLAN, MEASURE, AND ANALYZE
In the planning phase, you define the parameters and definitions of your test persons. During the recording you can observe all gaze data and understand behavior of the participants in real time. For professional data evaluation, the recorded eye tracking data can be played back synchronously and displayed simultaneously with other parameters.
