The Eye-Trackers and peripheral hardware and software must have the following specifications: 1. The system must be able to track where operators are looking without being in contact with the operator. 2. The monitor-based eye-trackers shall consist of the following: monitor size of 17 inches or larger; spatial resolution of.3 degrees or better; accuracy of.5 degrees or better; drift of.3 degrees or better; a data-rate of 120HZ or faster; freedom of head movement of at least 30x22x30cm from a range of 60 to 80cm; and binocular tracking. 3. The scene-based eye-tracker shall consist of the following: spatial resolution of.3 degrees or better; accuracy of.5 degrees or better; a data-rate of 60HZ or faster; freedom of head movement of at least 30x20x30cm at a range of 60 to 80 cm. 4. Calibration of the person must be quick, efficient, and accurate within 20 seconds or less. 5. The monitor and scene trackers must be able to track many different ethnicities with a full range of glasses and contacts. 6. The presentation and analysis software must randomly present different stimuli types, (including JPG, movies, PDFs for the monitor eye-tracker and natural scene elements) for the scene tracker). The analysis component must be able to visualize the data through gaze-plot overlays, heat maps, and replays. The software must allow marked areas of interest on any stimulus and synchronize with the eye-tracking data. The software must allow user-defined fixation durations across different temporal resolutions. Mouse clicks and keystrokes must be recorded on the same timer as gaze data. The presentation and analysis software can be integrated into one software package or 2 separate software packages. The analysis software must save the data to a file. 7. Operators should be able to talk out loud utilizing the microphone and have their eye-movements and speaking part of a video output 8. The software development kit (SDK) must work with MS visual basic and MS visual C++ to allow the eye-tracker to work with external software. All the following requirements must occur within the external/in-house software. The SDK must allow calibration (and associated accept/redo of the calibration depending on whether it is acceptable or not), tracking status of the operator, the ability to save the calibration to a file for later use, the ability to load a saved calibration file for an operator, reporting of errors of the eye-tracker, and starting and stopping eye-tracking. Additionally, the output of the eye-tracker data from the task must be saved to a file with timestamps so that the data can be analyzed. This data must include X and Y location of both eyes as well as pupil size for both eyes and the validity of the data at each timestamp. The SDK must allow access to where an operator is looking (through user-defined definitions of fixations). 9. The eye-trackers must allow operator calibrations to be saved for future use. 10. The operator must be able to move away from the eye-tracker for an extended period of time (6 hours or more), and return without a new calibration period. 11. The eye-tracker must be non-tethered and not a head-mounted system. 12. The use of fiducials must not be required. CLIN 0007 (1,YR), Warranty.
