Using Labvanced.com to build a psychological game or multi-user study


 The new Labvanced server provides an excellent platform for psychological multi-participant and joint-action studies in which multiple participants can interact in real-time. A multi-user study allows multiple users that are on different computers to participate in the same study simultaneously and share state between them. Participants in the study are connected through a real-time network connection. Synchronization is achieved via the exchange of variables. And a server-side handshake procedure prohibits race conditions and ensures common ground truth of states.

With the Labvanced visual study builder, you can create a multi-user study or explore cooperative behavior, joint decision / joint action, create socio-economic games, and much more, fast and smoothly without the need to do the difficult coding or calculations yourself. Participants in the study will be able to communicate and interact with each other and with the study’s stimuli through our server. With the websocket technology, all the events can be synchronized and you will be able to have precise measurements and record data.

Also, we have a multi-user study example study in our open-access library:

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...
