Lab software

At the core of the Usabililty Lab are Media Recorder and The Observer^® XT software. Media Recorder allows you to record video from multiple cameras and capture computer screens. With The Observer XT software you can analyze your video material offline, or make live data recordings of tasks, comments and usability issues.

Excellent integration facilities
Due to The Observer XT’s excellent integration facilities, we can arrange labs in such a way that all your devices work perfectly together. The Observer XT allows you to make synchronous multimodal recordings of screen captures, video, audio, mouse clicks, key presses, eye movements, physiological measurements, and more. When all your data has been integrated, The Observer XT allows you to search your data, so interesting segments are visible within seconds. As a result, you get complete insight into the relationships between the experimental conditions, overt behavior, and physiological responses.

Automatic analysis of facial expressions and user-system interaction
Combine observational data with automatic recordings of FaceReader ™ and uLog™. If you incorporate FaceReader into your lab, you will have the additional ability to record facial expressions automatically.With uLog Pro, our event logging module, you will be able to record user-system interaction automatically. uLog Pro enables you to log basic computer events, scrolling, resizing of windows, which windows and applications are active, and more.

How to operate the software & hardware
All our labs come complete with installation, training, and support. We make sure you know exactly how to operate your system by not only training you on how to use our software tools, but also by giving advice on different observation methods. If you experience any challenges, our support department is there to help. In short, we help you get the best out of your behavioral research!
