Recommended Products
Observation Suites
We design, install, support and provide training for a range of behavioural observation laboratories from simple one-camera systems through to complex usability labs. featuring screen capture, mouse and keyboard logging, automatic emotion measurement and eyetracking.
SIMI Motion
Motion analysis of human, animal and mechanical devices in 2 & 3D. Measure angles, accelerations, forces and distances using automatic tracking of as many points as you need.
Integrate motion capture with other devices such as forceplates & EMG. Visualise results in tables, graphs, stick figure overlays and as sequences of images. Automatically calculate and export a range of statistics from raw or filtered data.
Theme
Researchers are often interested in underlying complex patterns in their behavioural data that are difficult to detect using standard analytical methods. Theme is a very powerful research tool that detects hidden patterns in data sets and identifies concealed relationships.
Portable Labs
Usability and HCI researchers often need to film their subjects on site, investigating real-world situations and providing immediate feedback.
Our portable filming labs have everything you need in a small lightweight case. You can record, analyse and present your results there and then.

Eye Tracking Glasses - Natural Gaze
Natural Gaze is designed for market research professionals, usability experts and academic researchers who analyse gaze in real-world or virtual environment. Featuring 60Hz binocular tracking and 4hrs+ recording via a Smart Recorder. Over 100,000 users worldwide are already benefiting from the easy set-up and rapid analysis workflow.
RED-n
Small and portable, ultra-light design. Powered via USB 3. Easy to use with laptops, tablets and monitors. Produces high-quality scientific-grade data.
