Are you just getting started with eye tracking, or are you an advanced user and would like to try Pro Lab’s key features using a trial free version?
Screen-based edition, Full edition
A selected calibration video may not attract the attention of infants and children. To ease the calibration process for such scenarios, it is now possible to actively switch videos during ongoing calibrations using the list in the moderator view or with keyboard arrows.
Screen-based edition, Analyzer edition, Full edition
A metrics visualizations tab has been added to the Analyze module. This feature lets you to evaluate if experimental manipulation affects results and how, without having to exit the software. The purpose of this feature is to support researchers during the pilot phase of the study, by providing early insights into a possible effect of an experimental variable.
Screen-based edition, Analyzer edition, Full edition
It is now possible to send TTL markers on text element onsets.
Screen-based edition, Analyzer edition, Full edition
This version of Pro Lab extends the available set of metrics in AOI- and Interval based formats. It is now possible to calculate and export average binned and unbinned pupil diameter metrics of all fixation and all whole-fixation samples in an AOI.
Screen-based edition, Full edition
Resizing videos has been added to the calibration routine, to be applied as an alternative method for participants who are difficult to calibrate, such as infants. This helps sustain attention to the computer screen and multiple targets, ultimately resulting in increased calibration data quality.
The video will shrink/unshrink to the next points, playing the dual role of attention grabber and calibration target. Gaze data is captured at regular intervals when the calibration video is completely shrunk.
It is also possible to control the animation duration, calibration speed, and the shrinking size in the design stage of your experiment. Results and recalibrations/revalidations are done, as before, in the Calibration Result view.
Screen-based edition, Analyzer edition, Full edition
Enhanced support for more punctuation marks in Asian languages, including the following Unicode characters UTF-16 3002, UTF-16 FF01 and UTF-16 FF1F.
Screen-based edition, Analyzer edition, Full edition
All types of custom TOIs are now integrated into a single tool. Associated medias (filtered based on selected events) can be sorted, renamed, and previewed when double-clicked.
Screen-based edition, Analyzer edition, Full edition
You now have the possibility to bin the eye tracking data with fixed duration time intervals, so that you can analyze the unfolding of a metric over time.
Screen-based edition, Analyzer edition, Full edition
Create aggregated AOIs using tags through the Tag panel or custom logical expressions. This allows you to analyze conditions that exist across multiple stimulus elements. This replaces the Tag panel in Metrics Data selection.
The aggregated data are available for Metrics and Data export, enabling an easier analysis workflow for many experimental paradigms and research questions.
Screen-based edition, Analyzer edition, Full edition
The AOI reading metric: "Go-past duration" has been renamed "Selective regression-path duration".
Full edition, Analyzer edition, Presenter edition
The Text element can be added to the experiment timeline from the toolbar and used either for reading research or to provide instructions to the participant.
In the Text Editor it is possible, as before, to edit all the typical text properties (font, font size, text, and background color, etc.) and allows users to input multi-language text stimulus, with only western languages being fully supported.
Full edition, Analyzer edition, Presenter edition
In the Text Editor you can now preview AOI-boundaries at a character, word, or sentence level. This is particularly useful for researchers using eye tracking in the field of reading research.
Full edition, Analyzer edition
In the AOI tool you can now automatically generate areas of interest (AOIs) at a character, word, or sentence level, and encode AOI meta-information that are relevant for the experiment.
Full edition, Analyzer edition
New metrics are now available in the AOI-based TSV file export format — AOI reading metrics — to allow the users to much quicker calculate and extract many standard reading measures, including first-pass first fixation duration, first-pass duration, regression-path duration, etc.
Full edition, Analyzer edition
The AOI Click metrics (available in the AOI-based TSV file export format) have been updated for all stimuli types to now include both click (‘MouseEvent Down’ event), as well as click & release (‘MouseEvent Down’ + ‘MouseEvent Up’ events) metrics.
Full edition, Analyzer edition, Presenter edition
A new simplified calibration and validation result window is now available.
Full edition, Analyzer edition
In the Custom TOI dialog it is now possible to choose between recording data and mapped data for screen based and scene camera projects. When the radio button for mapped data is chosen, the corresponding snapshots are available for selection as well.
Full edition, Analyzer edition
You can now easily get information about the resolution of your screenshots directly in the Custom TOI dialog. Screenshots are also automatically sorted by type (e.g. manual screenshot, imported screenshot), domain, and resolution, and assigned a corresponding icon.
