Tobii Rolls Out Eye Tracking Info Portal

Eye tracking specialist Tobii has launched the 'Tobii Application Market'; an online portal through which scientists, researchers, students and anyone interested in eye tracking can share ideas, information and custom software applications.

Founded in 2001, Tobii is based in Stockholm, Sweden, and has offices in the US, Germany, Norway, Japan and China. In the summer, the firm launched Tobii Glasses, which look and feel like modern eyewear, allowing subjects to walk around freely collecting eye tracking data in 'mobile, natural settings'.

Through its new portal, users can access information about the technology, and downloads of software applications that have been developed by Tobii customers for use with its eye trackers, as well as search a library of more than 500 free eye tracking research papers and scientific articles.

The portal has been developed to enable researchers to discover details on each eye tracking application, such as the system requirements for use, costs to download if applicable, and where support is available for troubleshooting.

Registration is free and required to access materials within the site. There is no charge to access most custom applications.

'We're constantly impressed by the ingenuity that researchers all over the world have demonstrated by creating custom applications that enhance or extend our products and complement our software,' explains Tom Englund, the firm's EVP of Analysis Solutions. 'Now our goal is to allow these tools to be shared more widely, so even further advancements can be achieved in the scientific and research communities globally.'
