All software releases

We’re pleased to announce significant updates to Pupil Cloud.

Previously, Pupil Cloud visualized gaze, fixations, and blinks from Neon recordings. With this release, we’ve expanded visualizations to include additional data captured by the Companion Device: eye video overlays, eye aperture graphs, pupil diameter graphs, and audio graphs. These new tools help researchers explore, analyze, and annotate their eye-tracking data directly within Pupil Cloud.

Eye Video

Recordings now include synchronized playback of eye videos alongside the scene video. Eye videos can be repositioned, resized, and toggled on or off.

Please note that all recordings uploaded within the last 5 months will have eye video overlay available. Older recordings will have eye video available by 2025-07-15.

Data Tracks

We’ve added three new tracks to the timeline, enabling visualization of:

• Pupil diameter

• Eye aperture

• Audio

Hover or scrub the playhead to view exact values and min/max ranges. Zoom in to examine individual data points.

Track Customization

Users can toggle data tracks and video overlays on or off, and rearrange tracks to suit their workflow.

Playback Settings

Video player and timeline settings are now unified in a single menu. Adjust playback speed, toggle follow playhead, show or hide eye videos and graph values, and customize data tracks from one place.

We are excited to announce two big new features for Pupil Cloud! New enrichment tool - Manual Correction - tool puts a "human in the loop" to fill in tricky edge cases or make small adjustments; there are cases where even the most advanced machine learning gaze mapping algorithms struggle. New - Scanpath Visualization - renders fixation and saccade patterns on reference images.

Mapping Correction

The Marker Mapper and Reference Image enrichments now have the ability to manually correct fixations by clicking on the reference image to map a fixations, for more information click here.

Welcome to the Early Adopters Club!!

As announced recently, we are introducing paid add-ons to Pupil Cloud, and users of all devices purchased before Oct 28th 2024 are added to the Early Adopters Club and thereby receive the Unlimited Storage Add-on free of charge for one year.

New devices bought after Oct. 28th 2024 will be able to use up to 2 hours of recording at a time. As mentioned in the announcement, all other previously existing features of Pupil Cloud remain free and unlimited.

We also introduce a new Anonymization Add-on, which enables users to automatically blur the faces in scene videos right after upload to limit the personally identifiable information they store in Pupil Cloud.
