Computer vision algorithms enable biometrics to be collected from a participant’s own webcam in a 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.

Studies can be built from the ground up, ranging from image and video media testing to website testing and surveys, and providing multi-language support for testing international populations. Studies are then deployed via URL to research participants, made easier by iMotions Online’s integration with panel providers.

In keeping with iMotions’ commitment to transparency and scientific rigor, iMotions’ algorithms for facial expression analysis and webcam eye tracking have been validated and presented at scientific research conferences, assuring you get the highest quality data given the state of the technology.

Webcam Eye tracking that actually works

We have devoted significant time and effort to making remote eye tracking as accurate as possible, to make sure that it is a viable alternative to screen-based eye tracking that can make a difference for researchers everywhere. To ensure that quantitative data collection and data quality go hand in hand, we have focused on optimizing the webcam eye tracking feature to be able to deliver results in spite of changing lighting conditions as well as training it against one of the largest data sets in the world for eye tracking. All to make sure that as much viable data as possible is gathered.

We have tested the webcam eye tracking algorithm against a state-of-the-art screen-based eye tracker and made it into a blog, a study, and a whitepaper (link downloads a pdf).
