Observation Studio Modules
Pick and choose modules that best fit your research current needs. Each module offers advanced features and capabilities.
The Base System
Observation Studio Software
Use this powerful and intuitive recording software to capture and synchronize video, audio, and sensor inputs from any connected Participant Station on your network. One Participant Station recording license is included in the base package. Additional licenses for simultaneous recording of multiple participants can be purchased at any time.
Participant Station Software
The Participant Station software is the central system that sends captured data from a computer to the Observation Studio recording station on the network. The Participant Station software can be installed on any computer that meets the minimum hardware requirements for the selected modules.
Key Advantages:
Time-synced live viewing and recording of audio, video, and marker information, with easy RAW data export for one or multiple participants simultaneously.
Ideal Applications:
This system can be used to analyze participants’ reactions in relation to their interactions with the study subject (e.g., websites, applications, chats, videos, computer tasks, or stimuli from presentation systems such as E-Prime, SuperLab, etc.). Ideal for Scientific Research and Usability, User Experience and Marketing Studies.
