Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide methods, mediums, and systems for behavioral research. In some embodiments, a simulated environment may be created. The simulated environment may be displayed to a user on a proprietary display device which utilizes a proprietary data format for storing the simulated environment. Multiple different types of proprietary devices may be supported by providing a hardware agnostic canvas and translation logic. The hardware agnostic canvas may be stored in a neutral format that is not specific to a proprietary display device. The translation logic may translate the hardware agnostic canvas into a format that is interpretably by a proprietary display device, and may translate data gathered from the proprietary display device into a hardware neutral format for further analysis.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide methods, mediums, and systems for behavioral research. In some embodiments, a simulated environment may be created and displayed. A user may interact with the simulated environment by directing the user's gaze towards different objects in the simulated environment. One or more gaze fields may be calculated to determine which objects the user is viewing. A score may be calculated for the objects in the simulated environment, and the score may be used to display an analytical trail. The score may be dependent on both a first look at an object, in which the user first directs their gaze toward the object, and one or more second looks at the object, in which the user looks away from the object and then returns their gaze to the object. In determining the score, the second looks may be given more weight than the first look.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments provide methods, mediums, and systems for behavioral research. In some embodiments, an environment supporting three types of users may be provided. A first type of user may represent a participant whose behavior is being monitored. The first type of user may freely interact with the environment. A second type of user may represent a moderator directing the experience of the participant. The moderator may be provided with an ability to manipulate the environment or the participants' interactions with the environment. A third type of user may represent a client interested in the participants' behavior, and the third type of user may be provided with an ability to view the environment from the perspective of the participant. Different interfaces may be provided for allowing the different types of users to interact with the environment according to their roles.
