RealEye, the online eye-tracking solution, has just released a new feature that allows users to create free form areas of interest (AOIs) using polygons. This feature enables users to define more complex and irregular shapes for their AOIs, which can be useful for analyzing eye movements on various types of stimuli. Users can also combine multiple polygons to create one AOI, which can be helpful for grouping related elements together.

Support: What is AOI?

To use this feature, users need to select the “Polygon” option from the AOI toolbar and then click on the points where they want to draw the polygon. Users can adjust the shape and size of the polygon by dragging the points or adding new ones.

This feature is available for all types of studies, including images, videos, and live websites. Users can access the feature from the “AOI” tab on the dashboard. Users can also export the AOI data in CSV format for further analysis.

We hope that this feature will enhance your eye-tracking research and provide you with more insights into how people perceive your stimuli. If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to contact us at support@realeye.io. Thank you for choosing RealEye!

In this version, we created a feature that allows copying created AOIs from one item to any other item in any study. Read more here.

‍

Features:
– New hotspot type that allows unmuting video on mockups. It can be retriggered to control the mute state.

Security:
– Sharing study results requires a dedicated link to access resources. The study result has the share function disabled. This change does not influence already shared studies.

Fixes:
– Optimization of the algorithm for computing AOI statistics. Computing AOI’s overall size improved.

‍

Here you’ll find RealEye's latest release notes:

Version 13.0

Feature:
– Test without eye-tracking: this feature allows conducting a RealEye test without the eye-tracking module. Calibration and related steps are omitted. Instead of a conventional eye-tracker mouse-tracker is used. The feature can be triggered on a specific test if ‘reio-webcam-disable=1 ‘ parameter is presented in the participant test link URL.

version 13.1

Fixes:
– Hide the exposure filter when the study isn’t a mockup.
– Hide cursor on recordings when fielding device is mobile.

version 13.2

Feature:
– Export quality stats to CSV: participants’ quality data can be downloaded as a CSV file (contains all data visible under the ‘Quality Stats and Drop-rate’ tab).

version 13.3

Feature:
– Clone mockup study surveys.

‍
