RealEye Hardware & Software Requirements

Discover the recommended and minimal hardware and software requirements for RealEye's optimal performance.

 

Data Collection

RealEye is an online, webcam-based eye-tracking platform that enables researchers to conduct studies without external hardware. To ensure optimal performance consider the following hardware and software requirements:

Desktops & Laptops:

Recommended Setup

  • Webcam: 1920x1080p (Full HD) at 30 frames per second (FPS) or 1280x720p (HD) at 60 FPS
  • Browser: Latest versions of Google Chrome or Safari
  • Operating System: Updated Windows 11 or macOS X
  • Processor: 4-core Intel processor, 3 GHz or faster, 5th generation or later
  • Power Source: Laptops must be connected to a power source
  • Memory: 8 GB of RAM with at least 4 GB available
  • Graphics: DirectX 12-compatible graphics card with updated drivers; integrated Intel Graphics (5th generation or later) is sufficient
  • Internet Connection: Minimum 20 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload speeds (especially for live screen recording)


Minimum Setup

While RealEye can function with lower specifications, accuracy and precision may be reduced. Furthermore, with the eye-tracking sampling rate may below 20 Hz, RealEye will not provide any data for fixations.

  • Webcam: 640x480p at 15 FPS
  • Browser: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera, or Safari
  • Operating System: Windows 7/10, macOS X, or Linux (e.g., Ubuntu)
  • Memory: At least 0.5 GB of available RAM
  • Display Resolution: Minimum 1024x600 pixels
  • Internet Connection: Minimum 5 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload speeds


Additional Notes

  • Ensure other software does not consume excessive CPU or RAM resources.
  • Live (Embedded) Websites and Hosted Sessions may require a faster CPU than image or video-type studies.
  • Firefox is not recommended due to lack of hardware acceleration support.

 

Smartphones:

  • iPhone: models 6/SE (1st generation) or later
  • Android: Android 8 or later with a minimum of 2 GB RAM

 


Data Analysis (RealEye Dashboard)

Once your data collection is complete, RealEye provides an intuitive dashboard for analysis. The platform enables researchers to efficiently visualize and interpret eye-tracking data. Here’s how you can make the most of it:

  • Display Resolution: 1920x1080p (Full HD)
  • CPU: Dual-core processor > 2.5 GHz
  • RAM: Minimum 8 GB
  • Operating System: Windows 10/11 (with recent updates), or macOS 10.12 Sierra or later
  • Browser: Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge
