Applications:

Psychology Research

Video-based data collection is critical in academic settings, where researchers such as psychologists, child development professionals, and cognitive neuroscientists study human behavior. Observational data of subjects can be correlated with other measures, like eye-tracking or fMRI, to create a rich set of results.

Classroom Research

Educational research in classroom settings strives to uncover best teaching practices, quantify student engagement, and study the effectiveness of programs for special needs groups. Real-life classroom activity is recorded on video and then student and/or teacher behaviors are coded for analysis.

Consumer Behavior Research

Understanding consumer behavior is crucial to designing successful products and marketing campaigns. Video-based analysis of focus groups, interviews, and usability testing is valuable to generating insights into user behavior and decision-making.
