Research human and animal behaviour with I-CubeX sensors ! They can capture a variety of events and signals - see the list below for a relevant selection.

How does it work ?

Sensors are connected to a computer, using one of the following thumb-sized interfaces:

With I-CubeX software you can now configure the sensor interface to process the sensor signals and events. If you want to record them with Techsmith Morae Observer or Noldus Observer XT, for human/animal behaviour analysis and usability testing, use our mapper software to make your I-CubeX sensor data appear as keyboard strokes/strings that control the software such that it adds entries in the observer log. Note that there is a wealth of other software and devices that you can use in conjunction with I-CubeX to record or visualize the data and/or to map the data to audiovisual feedback.
