Hardware and software
We have the most modern research equipment and software for carrying out biometric tests.
IMOTIONS RESEARCH PLATFORM
A platform for carrying out biometric research, unique on the market, which allows the integration of all research sensors and the visualization of measurements in real time on one timeline.
SMI EXPERIMENT SUITE SCIENTIFIC PREMIUM
A software platform for designing, conducting and analyzing eye tracking experiments using SMI eyetrackers.
TOBII PRO LAB
Software for designing, conducting and analyzing eye tracking research using Tobii eyetrackers.
WEB CRAWLING
We can carry out research in the field of virtual ethnography.
CATI STUDIO
15 fully equipped computer stations that allow us to conduct CATI, CAWI or CASI surveys. Hardware and software provide access to a unique database of numbers - valuable when conducting representative surveys.
MODERN EYETRACKERS
Depending on the specifics of the test, we offer one of the eye trackers: Tobii Pro Fusion 250Hz with Mobile Device Solution, Tobii Glasses 2 100Hz, Tobii Pro VR Integration based on HTC Vive 120Hz and SMI RED500.
VR HEADSETS AND GAME CONSOLES
For research in the world of virtual reality, we use Oculus RIft, Playstation VR and HTC Vive headsets. We also study 2D games using the XBOX One S and X consoles and PlayStation 4 Pro.
BIOMETRIC SENSORS AND THE STUDY OF EMOTIONS
Using Shimmer and B-ALERT equipment, we test: galvanic skin reaction (GSR), bioelectric activity of the brain (EEG) and electromyography (EMG). In addition, thanks to the AFFECTIVA algorithm, we examine experienced emotions on the basis of video recording.
RADIO AND TELEVISION MONITORING
Real-time recording of 9 TV channels and 6 radio stations, creating an archive for tv and radio content analysis.
FOCUS ROOM
A fully functional focus room, in which - in addition to standard observation with a Venetian mirror - we have the opportunity to watch group interviews from the playback (the meetings are recorded) or live online. A dedicated link will allow you to view the entire study on the Internet.
