HOW DO I SET IT UP?
1. Software Setup
The download process is intuitive, detailed instructions can be found here. For any questions during setup please email [email protected].
2. Hardware Setup
The camera & processor can be mounted as depicted in the lower video. Details to come.
3. Activation
To allow the computer to understand your real world environment, the shelf, the camera position, and shelf must be defined. Detailed instructions are here.
Activation is done via the user interface. A laptop (or monitor & mouse for NUC applications) must be used to activate data collection at the shelf. When using a NUC, the monitor can then be removed.
NOTE: To record data, the API Log Export feature must be activated.
4. Downloading the data
Recorded data can be collected in a folder as described here.
5. Analyzing the data
This will be covered in the next section
WHAT EXPERIMENTS CAN I RUN?
Although we’re not shopper insights experts and therefore can’t recommending any particular study, here are a few we’ve heard might be helpful for understanding how your shoppers make their decision at the shelf
1. Gaze Map; order of consideration
2. Time to Purchase; high vs low consideration
3. Number of Views for a specific AOI; views over total; A/B
