ViewPoint EyeTracker is eye-tracking software for monitoring eye movement in live studies and analyzing recorded data.
What ViewPoint EyeTracker is
ViewPoint EyeTracker is eye-tracking software for monitoring eye movement in live studies and analyzing recorded data. Its real-time displays can show pupil position and velocity, fixation location and duration, pupil height and width, and ocular torsion. Additional gaze views include gaze traces, gaze point history, pen plots, and X/Y position and velocity plots. Users can read ASCII data files for post-hoc analysis, including regions of interest and gaze position and duration over stimuli. The interface offers preset defaults, lets users override them, and can load saved preferences at startup.
ViewPoint provides interfaces for MATLAB, Presentation, E-Prime, Python, and LabVIEW. Its Integrity interface suite and ViewPointClient are included free; the latter connects to the tracker over Ethernet. The standard SDK includes library interfaces and sample code, and applications can access data and control the tracker remotely in real time. Supported platforms are Windows, macOS, and Linux. The listed 90 Hz monocular camera package costs $5,998, paid once.
