SensoMotoric Instruments (SMI), from Teltow, Germany, has launched the RED500, a high-performance and high-speed remote eye tracker. The device features a 500Hz sampling rate, binocular tracking and a large tracking range. Eye trackers are used in various technical fields such as neuroscience and market research. From the press release:
Scientific research in neuroscience and psychology, reading and cognitive processes is an important area for the application of eye tracking systems. In these applications, accuracy of the measured signal is of critical importance. With saccades being as fast as 1000° per second, accuracy, especially for saccadic measures, is significantly influenced by sampling rate. 500Hz sampling rate is generally considered fully “scientific grade”, not requiring compromises on the dynamic aspects of eye movements.
The all-in-one system setup, invented by SMI for the RED remote tracker line, provides a unique versatility, allowing the use of a PC-monitor, large screen/TV, CRT, and projection screens, all with one system. The RED500 has inherited this system design and combines it with new hardware and algorithms to achieve its unprecedented level of performance.
