iMotions Remote Data Collection Platform

Remote Data Collection

Online Webcam Eye Tracking, Emotion and Arousal Detection

Extend iMotions Lab with the Remote Data Collection platform and take your research online anywhere

With the iMotions RDC (Remote Data Collection)
Platform, you can measure human behavior beyond the
lab—capturing meaningful data from participants
anywhere in the world. Even in remote settings, you can
uncover insights across three key behavioral categories:

  • Arousal – Analyze physiological activation levels through webcam-based respiration and voice.
  • Attention – Track where people look and for how long using webcam-based eye tracking.
  • Emotions – Detect facial expressions and voice tone to understand emotional reactions.
Access ready-to-analyze insights on emotional valence across your respondent pool.

Browser-based biometric data

One of the biggest advantages of remote research with
iMotions RDC Platform is its simplicity — all data collection is
done via a webcam and a microphone.

That’s it.

Using just these everyday tools, you can capture data
related to visual attention, emotional expressions, voice
tone, and even respiration patterns. This low barrier to
entry allows you to reach participants across the globe
while still collecting high-quality behavioral data.

How it Works

Webcam Respiration

The iMotions Webcam Respiration Module sets a new standard in remote, non-invasive biometric data collection. With this module, researchers can monitor participant respiration accurately via a standard webcam, eliminating the need for specialized, contact-based hardware such as respiration belts, and thus eliminating the lab-bound logistics usually dictated by the technology.
