Webcam eye tracking detects a user’s eye movements by using available light through an built-in or external webcam fixed on a screen. Users sit in front of the screen and perform tasks while their gaze is recorded in the background. EYEVIDO Lab records this data and provides visual results which can be evaluated in our online portal.
Webcam eye tracking doesn’t require any sophisticated hardware. Participants in your usability tests no longer need to come to a lab. Instead they can test web pages remotely at home, at the office or even across the globe. Compared to infra-red eye trackers, the depth and precision of webcam eye tracking data is limited but still produces results:
We use a state-of-the-art algorithm to detect your eyes and head position. Unlike conventional infra-red eye trackers, webcam eye tracking use available light to detect the gaze and head position from your testers. Therefore, webcam eye tracking works best with these useful tips:
Compared to eye tracking with infrared devices, the outcoming eye tracking data is less accurate and reliable. Webcam eye tracking is however an alternative solution in certain situations, especially when infra-red eye trackers are not available or when time is of the essence. You don’t have to be a professional or use any other equipment other than a webcam.

Webcam eye tracking with EYEVIDO Lab can be done from your testers’ homes and is an alternative to conventional lab testing. The results are instant and immediately visible online.
