S1 Eye-Tracker: Observer Software


The S1 comes with the powerful program Observer, which provides screencasting and data recording capabilities.


Observer is a simple-to-use program that is used to record an eye-tracking session. Working in the background, the software creates a video of the screen, overlaid with red dots showing exactly where the user is looking at that moment in time. It can also save the eye-gaze data as an XML or CSV document for simple processing by a custom application.


The user's screen (left) shows a normal computer screen, and the optional facilitator's screen (right) shows a mirror image of the user's screen, overlaid with the eye-gaze and mouse position.


Below is an example video created using observer, showing a user browsing a web page. For more example videos created with observer, look at the different applications of eye-tracking, or visit the Mirametrix Channel on Youtube for many more exciting examples of eye-gaze in use.
