iVision (Eye tracking)

Our mobile eye tracking is ideal for in-situ research (shopping, driving, playing sport, surfing the internet etc). We even offer predictive AI based eye-tracking called VAA (Visual Attention Analysis).

Unlike traditional Market Research Agencies, Vision One boasts a complete suite of eye-tracking tools, giving us the ability to tackle any research problem related to conscious or unconscious visual attention and behaviour.

Eye-Tracking

People Watching

Ethnographic Research
As behavioural researchers, we specialise in observation and ethnography to gain a clear and unobtrusive view of how consumers naturally behave in the real world.

Observation research involves unobtrusively and naturalistically observing your customers’ behaviour – to determine how they naturally respond to a product, service or situation. This can also be done remotely using our Field of View glasses, allowing customers to record their behaviour in an unobtrusive, naturalistic way. These insights often provide the most natural, compelling and actionable insights possible.

Shopper journeys involve tracking consumers through a physical space using GPS technology to determine which aspects of an environment or experience are approached or avoided, giving you insights about where best to place your products.

Ethnographic Research

Brain Waves

Neuromarketing Research

Vision One has a sophisticated neuroimaging offering, enabling us to measure your brain waves in response to different stimuli in different environments.

We have a complete suite of EEG (mobile, stationary), with expertise in recording and complex analysis, and expertise in fMRI recording and analysis, with our ARU members specialising in both EEG and fMRI. This can provide you with a clear, true picture of what parts of the brain are activated when processing products, brand or services, telling us why people make certain decisions.

Sensing (Biometrics)

Biometrics and Emotion Analysis

Vision One uses sophisticated and cutting-edge technology to measure people’s sensory and facial responses to stimuli, indicating how they really feel about a product, brand or service.

Biometrics measure the intensity of emotional engagement towards a product or service by reading their facial expressions (FACE), measuring the conductivity of their skin (Galvanic Skin Response) or heart rate variability (HRV); this is similar to how lie detectors work.
