All software releases

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.

For more information on the Add-ons visit the Cloud page!

We are excited to announce a new round of updates for Pupil Cloud including improvements to the Marker Mapper, Downloads tab, and recording timeline!

Marker Mapper

You can now select the image to be used in Marker Mapper visualizations! You can either pick a frame from a scene video, or you can upload a dedicated image that contains the surface!

The selected image will be used in the side-by-side view and as the background for AOI and heatmap visualizations.

Downloads Tab

We updated the Downloads tab! It now provides a simplified view of your project's downloadable data and allows you to customize which recordings to include in each download!

Timeline

Fixation and blink events are now visualized in the timeline providing you a rough overview at a glance.

Additionally, we have added a search field to the events section allowing you to find things more quickly in recordings that feature lots of events!

We are excited to announce new a big update with two new features for Pupil Cloud. We added a new manual gaze mapping enrichment - Manual Mapper - as well as the ability to offset gaze post-hoc - Gaze Offset.

Manual Mapper

This tool provides a streamlined interface enabling you to manually map fixations onto a reference image. Click on the reference image to map the fixation and the recording will automatically advance to the next fixation. Mark fixations as not on the reference image by clicking outside of the reference image boundary.

You will see all fixations and their durations visualized in the timeline below.

After mapping is complete you can visualize the mapped data just as you would with any of our automated gaze mapping tools. Generate heatmaps, draw AOIs + get metrics on AOIs, and export mapped data as CSVs.

The Manual Mapper was designed for standard fixation mapping tasks, but has a lot of potential for further exploration e.g. semantic labeling tasks. We encourage you to explore!

Gaze Offset

For some subjects, you may find a constant offset in their gaze estimates. This is usually compensated for in the Neon Companion App. Now you can also do this post-hoc in Pupil Cloud. Click on the gaze offset icon and drag the gaze circle to apply the offset.

Note: Modifying the gaze offset impacts all downstream data, such as fixations, mapped gaze from enrichments, and visualizations. Where possible, data is updated instantly. If not, the respective data will be deleted, requiring (partial) re-computation of enrichments or visualizations.

Heatmap Updates

We have added the ability to update the position and size of labels in AOI heatmaps. Click to select a label, drag the label to position, select and drag a corner to adjust the size.

We also added the legend to the downloaded heatmap image.

Editing the Wearer in a Recording

It is now possible to change the assigned wearer in a recording post hoc in Pupil Cloud. Simply select “Change Wearer” from the context menu of a recording!
