Features of Neon ① Modular design
The Neon features a different "modular design" eye-tracking device.
All the hardware necessary for eye tracking, such as a high-speed eye camera, a wide-angle scene camera, a stereo microphone, and an IMU, is wrapped in water-resistant silicone in a small package.Neon Module”, and this new modular design allows for head mounts with a variety of frame shapes, sizes, and styles as shown in the video (*).
* Various frames are scheduled to be released in the future, but the first frame to be released is "Just act natural".
Neon Module Specifications
- 2x Infrared eye cameras, run @ 200Hz
- 1x Scene camera, run @ 30Hz
– Super wide field of view: 132 degrees horizontal by 81 degrees vertical
– Resolution of 1600 x 1200px - Stereo microphones
- IMU (gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer)
Features of Neon (XNUMX) Improved accuracy
It is similar to Pupil Invisible in that it uses a deep learning-based pipeline for gaze estimation, but a new pipeline "NeonNet” has been adopted.According to the manufacturer's announcement, Neon is more accurate than his Pupil Invisible, and at the moment it is announced that the parallax error is greatly reduced (currently, the research and development team is still fine-tuning the network and training data are collecting).
The R&D team is fine tuning the network and we're still gathering more training data. That being said, you can expect accuracy to be an improvement upon what can be achieved with Pupil Invisible. We can already report that parallax error has been greatly reduced .
We think Neon is better than Pupil Core and Pupil Invisible in almost every aspect.
Features of Neon ③ Eye tracking system for research
At Pupil Labs, the goal is to accelerate the development of eye tracking for real-world challenges and enable researchers and entrepreneurs to add eye tracking to their next research, prototype, or product. is designed to enhance scientific research and enable applications beyond today's possibilities.
Due to the above-mentioned modular design specifications, we have frames that match the size of children's heads (All fun and games), frames that are made for ophthalmologists (Minor adjustments), and heads that are suitable for dynamic movements such as sports. Since it can be incorporated into a band (Ready set go!), etc., it is possible to incorporate an eye tracking system in various research scenes.
In addition, Neon can be used without setup or calibration, and Pupil Labs software is built for everyone from no-code users to pro-code users, so there is no complicated introduction in the research scene. The ease of use also reflects the direction Pupil Labs is aiming for.
