Remote Binocular Optics w/Magnetic Head Tracking

ASL Model R6 is a complete eye tracking system to use in situations where the stimulus presented to the subject is restricted to a single surface such as a computer or video monitor and where head mounted optics are not desirable. The system allows the subject approximately one square foot of head movement which eliminates the need for head restraint.

The advantages of the R6 binocular pan tilt over the competition are many:

Uses bright pupil technology, giving superior capture and contrast.

The only system that can combine the magnetic head tracker with the pan tilt to virtually eliminate the need to reacquire the eye during motion or correct for point of gaze errors.

The only binocular, multispeed (60, 120 or 240 hz w/ no loss of resolution) remote pan/tilt system.

When not being used in the binocular mode, the system can be used as two separate monocular eyetrackers.

Data Output

The Model R6 Binocular is designed to measure a subject's eye line of gaze with respect to a single stationary surface in the environment. This measurement is displayed as two cursors or cross hairs superimposed on the image from a remote mounted scene camera or other video source showing the subject's field of view. A videotape of this image can be created as a permanent record.

Recorded data include time, x and y eye position coordinates and pupil diameter on each eye. External data events/marks can be recorded along with eye tracker data. Eye position coordinates correlate to specific areas on the surface being viewed. Vergence is also calculated. If the Model R6 includes an optional head tracker, head position and orientation can also be recorded.

Model R6 EYEPOS operating software provides the system operator with the ability to enter calibration and subject data and specify the operating parameters of the Model R6. EYEPOS also converts the eye tracker data records into ASCII format for transmission to other computers or to off-line spreadsheet analysis. Data is available directly from the Model R6 control unit through a serial port.
