RealEye for Toyo Gakuen University

With over 90 years of history, the educational institution was first established as Toyo Women's Dental College, and it was later transformed into Toyo Women’s College. It became the present-day Toyo Gakuen University in April 1992 with the objective of providing rich educational experiences to cultivate individuals equipped with skills and talent for the international stage. The University now consists of three faculties, four departments and a graduate school.
We had a chance to interview Sarah Louisa Birchley, adjunct lecturer at the Toyo Gakuen University.

Sarah, why did you decide to move your eye-tracking research to the Cloud?

During the pandemic, all data collection efforts had to be moved online, and RealEye was a great option for substituting in-lab eye-tracking experiment.

Why did you choose RealEye?

I've tested several webcam-based eye-trackers, but RealEye provided the most reliable and robust measures, not to mention their convenient and fun interface for self-calibration.

How fast and handy was your integration with RealEye?

There's room for improvement, but setting up your eye-tracking study on RealEye was very easy and intuitive. Realeye also has a great support team, who are highly professional and responsive.
