JVCKenwood shows new version of its Gazefinder look tracking system

The NP-200 features more applications with a better level of security and increased sampling rate.

The Gazefinder system from JVCKenwood It is capable of measuring and displaying what a subject is looking at on a screen using a technology exclusive to this company, which has announced the new NP-200 version, which will be on the market at the end of May.

Gazefinder NP-200 replaces the NP-100 system, that the company developed for medical applications, and that with this version expands to more applications thanks to an increase in the sampling rate and a reinforced degree of security.

JVCKenwood was one of the first companies to devote effort and resources to the field of gaze tracking and introduced the first version of the Gazefinder system to the market (NP-100) in September 2016.

This vendor's unique technology allows for ultra-high-precision tracking. NP-100, It also has a calibration function to quickly measure the shape of the eyes of the subject you are watching, It is used in several universities and research centers.

The development of Gazefinder NP-200 now includes new features that the company will also present to universities and research centers specializing in behavioral studies in the field of psychology, Brain Sciences & Education, in order to bring new approaches to systems that are based on gaze measurement and tracking.

Gazefinder visualizes the points to which the eye directs its gaze, presenting still images and videos created to establish measurements on the observed object. It analyzes the points of the object that the eye is looking at on the screen using the video image of an infrared stereographic camera and projects the points that the eye is looking at on the screen.

One of its features is that, powered by JVCKenwood, Performs a non-invasive measurement, as it does not require the subject to have a stationary head or to wear special glasses. To do this, it has a precise calibration function to measure the shape of each individual person's eyes and make the necessary adjustments in a very short time.

Gazefinder NP-200 has new design, with a weight reduction of 37% compared to the previous model that makes it even easier to port.. An image display monitor has been integrated for this purpose, An eye tracker with an infrared stereographic camera and a computer.

The front surface has a completely flat surface, No level differences between the monitor screen and the camera unit; The rear surface is grayish-white to match the installation environment.

Easy to install and operate, From measurements to visualization of results, The operator can use it without any problems as soon as it is put into operation.

The system has three sample rates to choose from: 50 hz (like the NP-100 model), to which are now added those of 60 Hz and 120 hz, This allows for different configurations depending on the type of research to be undertaken.
