Prophea.X · Ergoneers — One timeline for eye tracking, biosignals and simulators

Software for human behavior research. It records mobile eye trackers, cameras, a microphone, physiological signals and simulator or vehicle data at the same time — for one person or a whole group — and takes you from recording to a report with attention metrics.

00:01 · What Prophea.X is

Every device in your study on one clock

In human behavior research, each device usually has its own software, its own clock and its own file. Eye tracking glasses record gaze, a camera — video, a skin sensor — arousal, and a simulator — what happened in the scenario. Putting it all together can take longer than the study itself.

Prophea.X records all these sources at the same time and stores them on a shared timeline. Afterwards, one click takes you to the moment of an event, and you see where the participant was looking, how their body reacted and what they were doing.

  1. Connect

    Eye tracking glasses, cameras, a microphone, physiological sensors, a simulator or a vehicle — via USB, network (TCP/IP), LSL, CAN-Bus or ROS 2.

  2. Record

    Prophea Data Engine triggers the recording on all devices at once. You see the camera video, the gaze point and signal charts live.

  3. Analyze

    You open a single project file in Prophea Analyzer: replay everything together, define areas of interest, calculate metrics and export a report.

Separate programs: each device starts at a different moment and keeps its own time — the same situation (yellow line) falls at different points in each recording.

00:02 · What it records

Vision, cognition, environment and physiology — in one recording

Each device answers a different question: what the participant looked at, what was going on in their mind and body, how they moved and what was happening around them. Only together do they show the whole situation.

00:03 · How it works

From recording to report in two applications

Prophea Data Engine records and displays data live. Prophea Analyzer opens the same project for analysis and reporting — all in one workflow, with no moving files between programs.

Project, tasks, sensors and participant groups

Before you hit “start”, you describe the study: which tasks the participant will perform, which devices you collect data from and which groups the participants belong to.

  • Task definitions and sensor definitions in the project
  • Grouping participants into categories (e.g. experienced and novices)
  • Custom window layout, work on multiple monitors
  • Data Engine works on its own or together with the analysis modules

Everything on one computer

You connect glasses, cameras and microphones to one laptop — wirelessly, via Ethernet or USB. This is what a study in a store, on a sports field or in a car looks like.

  1. Prophea Connection Starter

    connects the input streams from each computer.

  2. Prophea Data Engine

    triggers recordings globally and monitors them live.

  3. Prophea Analyzer

    opens the resulting recording file on any computer — for analysis and reporting.

You choose the master frequency and the synchronization mechanism yourself — Data Engine accepts data regardless of its format and frequency. Via Lab Streaming Layer (LSL), the manufacturer states access to more than 120 sensors and devices.

00:06 · Prophea eye

Eye tracking analysis without hours of manual coding

Eye tracking glasses record video from the participant’s perspective and the point they are looking at at any given moment. Prophea eye turns this recording into numbers: how long, how often and in what order the participant looked at selected areas — a sign, a cockpit instrument, a screen, the face of the person they are talking to.

Gaze path
Circles are fixations — the larger the circle, the longer the gaze stayed. Lines are saccades, the fast jumps of the eyes between points.
View from the driver’s perspective in a car: areas of interest on the steering wheel, mirror and navigation screen, and a gaze point crosshair

Areas of interest for the whole project

An area (AOI) defined once is recognized in the recordings of all or selected participants, even during fast head movements. You calculate metrics for static and moving AOIs.

AI object recognition

The Prophea autorecog module detects defined objects on its own — a traffic light, a lane, a car — and counts the glances at them. No markers to attach and no manual coding.

Gaze in 3D

Gaze referenced to the field of view regardless of head movement.

Eyes and eyelids

Detection of blinks and eye closure, eyelid opening, pupil diameter.

Transparent calculations

Insight into how each metric is calculated and full control over its parameters.

Visualizations

Static heat maps and dynamic ones on video, gaze paths, mapping gaze onto an image.

The whole group’s attention on one timeline

Prophea eye synchronizes any number of simultaneously recording glasses — currently Dikablis Glasses X and Tobii Pro Glasses 3. Shared areas of interest work for all participants, reducing repetitive work in group analysis. Analysis time depends on the recordings and the scope of the study.

This is how you study what cannot be recorded individually: a team in a control room, a crew on the bridge, a team on the field, students in a classroom.

00:12 · FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to buy Ergoneers glasses?

No. Prophea eye works with Dikablis Glasses X and with Tobii Pro Glasses 3. If you already have Glasses 3, you can start with the software alone. Other devices — cameras, physiological sensors, a simulator — connect to Data Engine via LSL, TCP/IP, CAN-Bus, ROS 2 or an API.

Does the data go to the cloud?

No. Prophea.X processes data 100% locally and can work offline, behind your institution’s firewall. Recordings and results stay on your computers.

How many participants can I record at the same time?

It depends on the Data Engine package: Lite has 3 inputs, Standard 7, Extended up to 20, and Unlimited is licensed individually with no limit on streams. The manufacturer shows four eye trackers recorded and analyzed on one standard laptop; larger setups work on a local network.

Can I change how metrics are calculated?

Yes. Prophea eye shows the calculation method of each metric and lets you adjust its parameters. You can also export all raw data — gaze coordinates and the eye and scene camera video — for your own analysis.

Does Prophea.X work with BIOPAC?

Both platforms support Lab Streaming Layer (LSL), a standard for streaming data in research labs. We choose the connection configuration for the specific setup — let’s talk about your study.

How do I connect a simulator or a vehicle?

Data Engine connects to simulators and vehicles via TCP/IP, CAN-Bus, ROS 2 or the simulator manufacturer’s SDK; events and markers can be set according to the simulation state. For non-standard setups, we arrange a consultation with Ergoneers engineers — the manufacturer usually prepares an outline of the solution within 7 working days.

Can I test the software before buying?

Yes. We will arrange a demo on your research scenario; the manufacturer also provides a demo software license.
