ViewPointSystem VPS Next

ViewPointSystem VPS Next

VPS Next is a professional pair of glasses equipped with an eye-tracking system, which tracks the user's gaze direction, and a camera that captures the surroundings from a first-person perspective. The system simultaneously records images, plots the user's gaze, streams live video, and analyzes the user's perception of the surroundings.

The solution is primarily intended for:
practical training and assessment of performance,
analysis of user behavior and perception,
remote support for field workers,
documentation of inspections, reviews, and processes,
scientific research and usability testing,
quality control and process optimization,
industrial, transportation, sports, medical, and safety applications.

The glasses should not be considered classic augmented reality glasses with a heads-up display. Their primary function is to record images and visual behavior, not to display instructions directly in the user's field of view.

Software Required for Operation

Basic Software

The Linux 5.15 operating system is pre-installed on the VPS Lite Unit.
The device is delivered as a pre-configured solution and does not require the user to install an operating system.
Basic control is provided through the VPS Control Center, an interface accessible via a web browser.
The VPS Control Center allows you to:
- configure the device,
- view live previews,
- start and stop recordings,
- take snapshots,
- play back recordings,
- download recordings and data,
- control live streams.

The interface is compatible with computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.

Basic use requires a device with a web browser and a Wi-Fi connection to the VPS Lite Unit.

The manufacturer does not currently provide a detailed list of minimum Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, or supported browser versions. This should be confirmed before purchase in a standardized IT environment.

Analytical Software

The manufacturer offers software designed for the analysis of eye-tracking data.
The software allows for the analysis of, among other things:
- user gaze point,
- gaze sequence,
- fixations (moments of relatively stable gaze),
- Areas of Interest (AOIs), defined areas of interest,
- heat maps showing the distribution of visual attention,
- data from multiple study participants.

It is possible to observe the transmission in a browser, along with a live presentation of the gaze point or heat map.
The manufacturer does not provide the clear brand names of all current analytical modules or the precise assignment of functions to individual packages on its public website. License coverage should be confirmed in the specific offer.

Integrations
The system provides a standardized REST API (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface).
The API can be used for integration with client applications and external analytical systems.
The manufacturer indicates integration or interoperability with the following software:
-TEA,
-iMotions,
-BiSigma.
The use of third-party products may require separate licenses.

Connectivity and Infrastructure

The primary form of connection is Wi-Fi.
The manufacturer indicates the possibility of transmission via Wi-Fi or a mobile data connection, but the data sheet does not confirm a built-in LTE or 5G modem.
In practice, transmission via a cellular network may require an external hotspot or internet access device.
The manufacturer states that its cloud or comparable server infrastructure is not required for the solution to function.
Data can be stored locally on an encrypted SD card.
According to the manufacturer, transmission can occur directly via an encrypted VPN connection, without data caching by an external cloud provider. Details of the VPN architecture, key management, and compliance with the organization's security policy should be verified prior to implementation.
