Features and benefits of the new Tobii Mobile Device Testing Solution include:
- Captures accurate gaze data on small screens – The solution delivers the highly accurate data you need to test small devices, where logos, text and buttons might all be within one degree of visual angle distance and any compromise on accuracy can lead to the wrong conclusions. Tobii X2 eye trackers offer accurate gaze data under varying light conditions and compensate for natural head movements.
- High quality data for analysis – The solution supports both quantitative and qualitative studies that require high quality behavioral data. The high resolution scene camera captures the details needed to analyze small screens. Also, the Tobii Studio software included in the package provides a comprehensive platform for testing design, recording, observation, visualization and eye-tracking data analysis.
- Makes robust research portable, highly efficient – The Tobii X2 Eye Tracker in this comprehensive package allows you to track a wide cross section of the population, including people wearing glasses. It also helps to set up research studies quickly and easily in any location – as the solution is compact, portable and light-weight.
- Creates a comfortable and natural testing environment – Test participants can interact with their mobile device in a natural way and switch between portrait and landscape mode. It is also easy to switch between different mobile devices during the same study.
