This is an overview of the general process of our work.
Featured here is a poster going over the scientific process about a project commissioned our client The Ritter Library.
Here is the logo of Campus Plate, one of our previous clients.
Overview
We have a number of clients that we have worked with over the years. On this page, you will find descriptions of the cream of the crop. We utilize various technologies to achieve this, with the Tobii Eye Tracker being one of our most common. This provides further insight into what kind of work we do as a team. If you like our work, feel free to contact us!
Ritter Library Website
We used Tobii eye-tracking technology to evaluate the usability of the Ritter Library Website. This is a database that provides many literary resources for the BW community. We provided a list of challenges and recommended changes based upon the results of our testing, which utilized our seven core principles. Because of this, we helped make the website more accessible for thousands of students and staff alike across campus.

Impact of Robots on Speech Language Therapy
We utilized our eye-tracking technology to identify whether speech therapy patients pay attention to stimuli presented on an educational robot compared to how much they pay attention to the therapist during therapy. Said robot is a therapy tool to help children interact. Participants consisted of children enrolled in the BW Speech Clinic. Thanks to our testing, we discovered that stimuli presented on a robot held attention better than on paper.

Campus Plate App
We made use of our eye-tracking technology to assess the Campus Plate application. This is a mobile platform that enables students to locate the places and times for popup food pantries across campus. This enables those in need to get access free food. We used heat maps provided by our Tobii software to determine a hierarchy of interest. With the data gathered, we then gave a set of recommendations to further improve the application of the app.
