GazeRecorder vs OGAMA

GazeRecorder uses a webcam to track eye movement and create video recordings for remote UX research on desktop and mobile. Its online service can test live websites, images, screenshots, mockups, pictures, videos and apps. The maker says it can show where participants look and for how long in real time. GazeFlow generates heatmaps over webpages, applications, static images or videos, and can combine data from multiple subjects. Desktop features include real-time webcam tracking, one-click experiment creation and dynamic heatmaps. The desktop version requires a webcam, but specialized hardware is not required; smartphone tracking uses the selfie camera. Visualizations include heatmaps, gaze paths, fixation metrics and areas of interest, with video recordings and session data available for export. The maker says respondent-level eye and click data can be provided along with aggregated sample data. The free desktop version is for non-commercial use. The FAQ gives approximate GazeCloud API accuracy of 1.0 degree and precision of 0.2 degree of visual angle. Listed platforms include web, Windows, iOS, Android and API.

OGAMA is Windows freeware for recording and analyzing eye-tracking and mouse-tracking data in slideshow experiments. It supports direct recording with Tobii, alea and SMI systems, along with the open-source ITU Gazetracker solution. Gazetracker can use infrared-ready webcams or a modified PlayStationEye camera. OGAMA can also import ASCII recordings from eye-tracking and presentation software or hardware. Its analysis tools include database-driven preprocessing and filtering, attention maps, areas of interest, saliency calculations, Levenshtein distances, and replay with AVI recording. Output can be used directly with statistical software packages. OGAMA is an open-source project written in C#.NET, and users can adapt its code. The maintainer announced in May 2016 that they had stopped supporting the project because they no longer had time for support and feature requests.
