  • Summary - Eye Tracking Software/Hardware

    Original Posting:

    I would like to know the general consensus on *cost-effective* Eye
    tracking software/hardware. What we need to know is where the subject is
    looking. The solution also needs to be portable such that it can be run
    from a laptop and some sort of portable power supply.

    We are currently looking using EOG, and I have recently come across
    Viewpoint Eyetracking software, though the web site seems to indicate
    this is Mac based software. Ideally the system would need to be less
    than $AUD5000.

    What are the experiences of those on Biomch-L?

    Thanks in advance,
    Tim.

    Summary:

    1)
    It seems that a lot of people have heard of this technology but only a
    few, on Biomch-L at least, are using it. The majority of replies I
    received suggested contacting someone they knew.

    So thanks to the following people...

    Peter Sinclair

    School of Exercise and Sport Science

    John D Finan

    Am awaiting replies from their contacts.

    ..uses DBA systems PC-based eye tracking systems successfully in her
    research but admits that at a price of $US16000, in 1998, it is quite
    pricey.

    .. use the ISCAN eye and head tracking system. This system requires a
    number of PC Cards to operate hence it's viability for use with a
    laptop, a requirement for my research, is unclear. According to their
    webpage, they have recently developed a Mini Remote Eye Imaging Assembly
    for Driving/Cockpit. I am waiting to hear more information about this.


    "Scheirman, Gary"

    ..pointed me towards Applied Science Labs www.a-s-l.com who have a
    number of different systems, mostly though, they are head mounted
    systems which is less desirable for my needs.

    3)
    In my own searches I have come across the Viewpoint Eye tracking
    software. This requires data to be collected using a video camera, the
    data is then processed using the, presently, mac-based software. I have
    been told by the manufacturers that a pc based version will be available
    around September. At $US2499 it seems quite reasonable though I am
    unsure of it's reliability. Perhaps someone reading this can tell me!

    4)
    Finally,
    Through other sources I have come across another software based eye
    tracking package at www.mediaanalyzer.com.
    They lease the program to you for $US900/year, also offering a 30 day
    trial. You can download it from their site. I am currently trialling it
    at the moment and it seems quite good, especially for the price. You
    simply need a digital video of the eye, or any other movement you wish
    to track, and then you can either manually track the video or use their
    wizard.

    All the best,
    Tim.
