Blickshift Analytics 2023.1 (November 2023)
- All new Dynamic AOI Editor with options to interpolate AOI over time, or have them tracked in the video
- Gaze Duration Statistics node was renamed to Gaze Statistics, and now includes many additional statistics for fixations, saccades, scan paths and pupil dilation, depending on the existing base data
- Drill Down view can now have a colored cells according to values, which is used by e.g. the Transition Matrix
- Nodes with many inputs are now displayed collapsed by default in the Workflow Explorer and can be expanded upon request
- Improved the support for fixations in Pupil Labs importer and node
- Importer and Pupil Labs node now support Pupil Labs Neon data
- Fixed several possible crashes in situations where due to a change in input data no column was selected
- Fixed a bug where events could go missing if event data was merged into a Merge & Resample Node and “Complete Resample” was selected as the resample method
- Fixed a problem with the layout of the importer that could occur if file/scenario/participant names were very long
Blickshift Analytics 1.3.2 (August 2022)
- Scan Path visualization now takes time unit into account when computing circle sizes, thus requiring less manual correction via setting a reference radius.
- We implemented a new node that clusters according to Scan Path similarity and automatically groups participants according to that similarity.
- Labeling Node can now handle re-connecting new nodes. Labelled data stays in existence and is re-used if data set, scenario and subject are the same.
- Simple Statistics Node now has an option to ignore NaN values.
- Value Search now has additional options regarding NaN values.
- Completely new importer with support for many auto-detected formats and better support for automatically importing media files.
- Scenarios and participants now have user-editable metadata that can be used to group scenarios or participants according to the metadata content.
- Files can now be opened or imported via drag & drop.
- Markings that are directly adjacent to each other on the base data are now correctly merged into a single marking instead of staying a split marking.
- Fixed a bug in the project manager, where stimulus IDs would behave erratically.
- Fixed a problem that could happen when automatically importing Pupil Labs data located in a folder in a hard drive’s root directory.
- Bug fixes and improvement of performance.
Blickshift Analytics 1.2.14 (August 2021)
- Enabled aggregation of stimulus-based visualizations (heat maps, scan paths), if the stimulus name is read from a column, and the data has been grouped according to that column with a group node.
- Added information about the column type into the columns’ tooltip in the drill down visualization.
- Fixed a bug in the merge and resample node that could occur, if the data on Input 1 had many rows with the same timestamp and “Clamp to Common Time” was activated.
- Fixed a problem with importing world.mp4 files from Pupil Labs recordings.
- Several smaller improvements and bugfixes
