Bulbitech has overcome several problems that you often find with eye tracking technologies. Not only subjects using contact lenses, artificial lenses (IOL), glasses, mascara, and even pupil colour can impact the camera’s ability to record eye movements, but also elderly patients with acquired brain injury, dementia, Parkinson’s and other diseases have a hard time becoming a research subject where the job can easily be done. Furthermore calibration can be a hassle and could take a long time, and combinations of eye-and pupil movements often cannot be done. Consequently, not everyone can participate in a study and the representativeness of the sample can be highly impacted. At Bulbitech we decided to develop an easy-to-use, clinically robust eye tracker that avoided the mentioned issues. We believe we have succeeded, but we would like you to be the judge of that!
The BulbiCAM is a head-mounted display (HMD) consisting of two small screens, one dedicated to each eye, LED illuminators and an infrared eye tracking camera. The BulbiCAM is calibration free, records both eye- and pupil movements, can track trough glasses and lenses, has no issues on mascara wearers and our algorithm is getting more and more robust on subjects with IOL’s. With two displays one can project stimuli both monocular and/or binocular. Bedside testing is also easy. The representativeness of the sample is increasing, and the time consumed for the test subject and researcher is decreasing.
