Equipment of the Laboratory of Interactive Technologies at OPI allows to perform even the most advanced studies of user interaction with computer systems and the Internet.
We have a comfortable room to conduct individual and group interviews with one-way mirror, which is enriched with a user video-observation system with specialized software Noldus Observer XT and high quality oculography system manufactured by SMI. This permits to capture all the users opinion about the tested system and comparison of the sets of declarative versus observational data, and precise measurement of visual attention (eye-tracking).
We have at our disposal:
Eye tracking is a research method that allows to follow the path of the human eye. The spectrum of applications ranges from neuroscience, research usability and HCI, psychological and psychiatric studies, market research, up to systems control using eye movements and much more.
We possess eye- tracker SMI RED 250 with integrated 22″ LCD monitor. The device combines great hardware capabilities with ergonomics and ease of use. It works with high spatial resolution (RMS) of 0.4 °, modulated temporal resolution of 60Hz to 250Hz, short latency time.
Observer XT is an analytical tool for professional and comfortable acquisition, analysis and presentation of data from observational studies. Its widespread application options include consumer research, HCI, user research, education, training, observation and psychological evaluation of various types. Observer XT allows the integration of different types of data (including audio and video) and their joint processing. The researcher can easily present the results in an intuitive and understandable manner.
A system that allows for implementation of surveys on the Internet (CAWI), both in the form of mailings, as well as using Real-Time Sampling methodology. It enables creation of high-quality surveys with multiple question formats, transition diagrams, rotation, presentation of visual materials, etc., and also supports the management of the implementation progress (invitations and reminders, quota control). LimeSurvey is a software constantly being improved, and has already proved itself in several dozens of studies we completed.
