ASL Launches Mobile Eye (TM)

Applied Science Laboratorys new Mobile Eye eye tracking system is designed to improve the way sports and physical activities are analyzed. Mobile Eye is a revolutionary new lightweight, tether-free wearable eye tracking system.

Bedford, MA September 29, 2004 -- From pro golf to tennis to NASCAR racing, eye tracking analysis offers the potential to improve performance, and even make sports safer. Applied Science Laboratorys new Mobile Eye eye tracking system is designed to improve the way sports and physical activities are analyzed. Mobile Eye is a revolutionary new lightweight, tether-free wearable eye tracking system manufactured by Applied Science Laboratories (ASL), the worlds leading eye tracking technology developer.

Mobile Eye is designed for applications where total freedom of movement is required. Its designed for indoor or outdoor use, delivering excellent results under a wide range of lighting conditions, and is both compact and rugged.

Flexible Mobile Eye is designed to be easily worn by an active subject. The eye tracking optics are unobtrusive and lightweight (less than 80g) and the recording device is small enough to be worn on a belt. These features will allow successful eye-tracking analysis across a wide range of active-subject sports and activities such as golf, baseball, archery, marksmanship, operation of motor vehicles and aircraft, and much more.

The eye image and scene image are interleaved and saved on a DVCR tape. This method ensures that no resolution is lost. Tape duration is 75 minutes; battery operation, at full charge, is 90 minutes. The completed tape is transferred to a PC (included) that separates the images, performs the analysis, and creates a scene video with cursor overlay. The sample rate is 25-30Hz.

Mobile Eye is supplied as a complete system with all necessary hardware and software. The portable DVCR can be connected directly to the PC for real time tracking in a laboratory setting. Additional optics and DVCR recorders can be purchased for use with the system allowing for multiple recordings to be made at the same time.

Applied Science Laboratories has been a pioneer in the examination of the human eyes movements and pupil dynamics for over 30 years. ASL was the first company to develop a head-mounted eye tracker, eye/head integration, parallax-free optics, and many other features that are industry standard. ASLs current range of computer-based eye movement measurement equipment has eye-tracking applications in moving vehicles, sports, WEB design, pupilometry and many more. ASL currently has tracking systems in the fields of medicine, cognitive psychology, training, simulation, biomechanics and human factors research.
