The Observer XT
A complete system to collect, analyse and present observational data, be it human or animal, live or from video. User-friendly, flexible, with the ability to integrate and analyse other data streams, The Observer XT is the perfect hub for many researchers across a variety of disciplines, such as: psychology; zoology; pharmacology; education and training.
Viso for Animal
Schedule and make long-duration video recordings, using multiple cameras, to generate movies for easy analysis.
TrackLab
TrackLab is the solution for research into behaviour, welfare, and health of many different livestock animals, companion animals and humans. It is the versatile work-bench for all your studies in both indoor and outdoor settings from the field to the barn, or the classroom to the playground.
EthoVision XT
EthoVision XT is the most widely published and comprehensive video tracking package, being highly flexible for use with virtually any organism, in any arena. Features include machine-learning, marker-less tracking of groups, automatic experimental control, and the most powerful data selection, display and analysis features on the market.
Simi Motion
Motion analysis of human, animal and mechanical devices in 2 & 3D. Measure angles, accelerations, forces and distances using automatic tracking of as many points as you need.
Integrate motion capture with other devices such as forceplates & EMG. Visualise results in tables, graphs, stick figure overlays and as sequences of images. Automatically calculate and export a range of statistics from raw or filtered data.
