Webcam Eye Tracking and Emotion Detection

Recent research has highlighted the variety of human behavior that is present across regions, countries, and cultures. With over 8 billion people in the world, it can be difficult to pin down consistent behaviors. With the iMotions Lab Remote Data Collection extension, it’s possible to take your research further and test anyone with an internet connection. Studies can be designed and set up within iMotions Lab, and then distributed online.

The Remote Data Collection extension allows for the testing of participants with eye tracking, facial expression analysis, voice analysis and surveys – all through the browser. Emotional expressions can be analyzed with Affectiva’s AFFDEX, or RealEyes‘ algorithms. It’s possible to learn more about our own eye tracking algorithms here. Distribution of the study can be handled through panel services, helping you to automate data collection, and go further with participant reach.

Measuring their nonconscious emotional signals and visual attention simultaneously provides insights free of conscious biases for high-quality reliable understanding of the drivers behind behavior.

Cost Effective And Flexible

Computer vision algorithms enable biometrics to be collected from a participants own webcam in a fast, cost-effective approach with no expensive hardware necessary- Through a cloud portal, research teams can create and view each others’ studies, collaborating from anywhere in the world.
