Available Devices and Software that can be used during Experiments in HCI Laboratory

 

Available Devices that can be used during Experiments :

The Camera Recorders   The Camera Recorders: In the experimentation room there are two moving camcorders one to record the face of the user and another one to record the key board activity of the user.
 

The Eye Tracker and Test Computer There is a single eye tracker which collects data on where on the screen the user looks, how long a glance is, how many times the user looks at a certain point on the screen, and all the eye movements of the subject during the experiment is also monitored. The test computer which is used by participant and also is attached to the eye tracker is coupled to another computer in the control room which records the on screen view of the user.

The Observer Computer  

The Observer Computer: In the control room there is another computer the screen view of which is recorded by Morae and also the by another computer which is connected to the camcorders.

The Control Unit   The Control Unit: There is a control unit which is connected to a monitor which displays the images from the two camcorders, as well as the user screen and the observer screen simultaneously, while also managing the movements of the two camcorders which can rotate 360 °
The Sound Mixer   The Sound Mixer : The system also incorporates a sound mixer which controls the three speakers(two in test room, one in control room) and the two microphones in the experiment room and the control room.

 

The Software:

Tobii Studio: Tobii Studio is a software developed by the manufacturers of the eye tracker that transforms the information received from the reflectors, the infrared detector cameras into visual and digital data, records them and later provides various tools for analyzing the data saved .

ClearView: Clearview is a software developed by the manufacturers of the eye tracker that transforms the information received from the reflectors, the infrared detector cameras into visual and digital data, records them and later provides various tools for analyzing the data saved .

Noldus Observer: There is software that transforms observations into computer language and then provides statistical information and charts from these. The Observer is the software is used for gathering, managing, analyzing and presenting the observed data. This software is not only a means for gathering data for behavioural development, communication, education, language acquirement, cognition, psychological evaluation studies but also for product usability and human-machinery interaction evaluations.
