Head Tracking New Feature From Labvanced.com


 A new state-of-the-start feature was added recently to Labvanced.com platform which is Head Tracking via a regular computer’s webcam or phone’s camera. We believe this feature will be a great help to the researchers in the psychology field. 

Head motion is physically complex and carries rich information. Head gestures including (nodding, shaking, tilting, tossing, dipping, thrusting, dropping, etc.) are also a way of conveying emotions. Importantly, compared to eye tracking head tracking doesn't need any calibration, and just works immediately

The Head Tracking can be used to:

1- Show if the participant was facing the screen or his/her head was tilted left or right during the experiment.

2- During any experiment to show if the participant was paying attention and directing their face towards the screen or somewhere else.

3- Get metrics about where the face is relative to the screen, e.g. centered or to the left or right, and also a relative distance to the screen. 


We made a demo study in our library to show our new Head Tracking capabilities:

We think using our new Head Tracking technology combined with our visual study builder (which has almost all the stimuli that a psychology researcher can think about) provides the perfect choice for the researcher who wants to utilize Head Tracking and wants to build his study fast and in the easiest way without wasting his/her time in complex coding.

Labvanced.com also offers a totally integrated platform designed to host any psychological or UX study, and we are proud to say that our platform has all the features that a psychology researcher needs to build any kind of study. Even the most complex one.

Labvanced’s platform is also tested and trusted by many big and prestigious universities and labs around the world.

So if you are thinking about bringing your research to Labvanced.com. We will be happy to have a meeting with you via Google Meet. If you are interested, contact Leah today via email or chat to schedule a meeting.

How to Integrate Google Meet in Labvanced.com

Image
  We have now developed a solution that enables researchers on Labvanced.com to integrate Google Meet within your study! You can even combine that with other interesting features, like eye tracking, multi-user studies, or collaborative tasks within iFrames, and much more. There are a lot of interesting research options to explore, but how does it work? Let's assume the following example: The goal is to create a multi-user study where 2-3 people jointly engage in a task on Labvanced while they can communicate via Audio/Video chat. Each participant group should have its own call/ video chat. And here is how you do it: 1) Create a multi-user study on Labvanced.com 2) Create a series of Google calendar events with a Meet link/URL (one for each group of people, the time/ date doesn't matter) 3) Put those URLs into a string array and read them out such that people in the same multi-user group see the same link 4) Render the link as an URL so that participants can just click on the...

New Cutting Edge Eye Tracking Technology

Image
  To evaluate Labvanced.com new cutting-edge eye-tracking algorithm, our research team has done several tests to determine the accuracy. The data shows that our new eye-tracking algorithm has a spatial accuracy of 1.4° horizontally 1.3° vertically .  Here is a link to the spatial accuracy-test study in Labvanced library: https://www.labvanced.com/page/library/12990 We believe that our eye-tracking algorithm is better than any other webcam-based eye-tracking technology and in fact really close to lab-based accuracy.  If you want to check it out yourself, we have several demo studies in our library : https://www.labvanced.com/page/library/11099 This is a performance test where the predicted gaze position will be displayed onto the screen, so you can test how good the prediction really is. https://www.labvanced.com/page/library/11327 This is a little game where you have to fixate objects to "destroy" them before they reach the bottom of the screen. https://www.labvanc...
