Platform for eye tracking and egocentric vision research.
Hardware
Pupil Headsets are plug and play USB devices carefully designed to be lightweight, unobtrusive, and easy to use.
The hardware is strong and flexible. The 3d printed frame holds research grade cameras that record your field of view and your eye movements.
Our versatile and modular system is ready to be adapted to the specificities of your research or application requirements.
Monocular - Record and stream the gaze of the participant.
Binocular - Estimate where the participant is looking in 3d (vergence) and robust binocular eye movement data.
Egocentric vision research - Record the field of view of the participant.
Eye movement research - Record eye movement data.
Software
Connect your Pupil headset to a Linux, MacOS, or Windows computer via USB
Record
Pupil Capture is the software used with your Pupil headset.
Pupil Capture receives video and audio streams, detects your pupil, tracks your gaze, tracks markers in your environment, streams data in real-time over the network, and records data in an open format.
Play
Pupil Player is a media and data visualizer at its core. You will use it to look at Pupil Capture recordings.
Visualize your data and export it. All Pupil software is open-source. You can modify it or write your own plugins to suit your needs.
Download the latest version of Pupil Player and test it out with our sample dataset.
Technical Specifications & Performance
Eye tracking performance is determined in equal parts by the hardware and software.
We constantly work on our algorithms and codebase, so you can expect a steady improvement and the latest features.
The headset is configurable with different cameras, so you can get the hardware you need: from high resolution capture at 30 hz to low latency (5.7ms) 120hz eye and world camera.

Open Source
We believe in open source. All Pupil code is released with open source licenses.
A lot of work went into making the software modular and accessible. The majority of the codebase is written in Python.
We have developed a plugin structure that enables you to extend Pupil Capture and Pupil Player to suit your needs.
Check out the pupil repository on Github. Read developer documentation on docs.pupil-labs.com.
Design
A lot of design and engineering thought has gone into getting the ergonomics of the headset just right.
It is designed to fit snugly, securely, and comfortably.
The headset and cameras can be adjusted to accommodate a wide range of users. The headset is made from laser sintered PA12, an extremely flexible, durable, and lightweight material.
