Software
To give an impression what kind of software we have designed, we have listed a selection below. If you have special wishes for software
it can be custom made.
- ED - Experiment Designer
- Program for designing desktop experiments, which can easily be converted into web experiments. Lists and pages can easily be designed with a couple of mouse clicks. The experiment is fully programmable in Java, the web experiment in JavaScript.
- Fix Your Vowels
- The program is based on the design of Carmen-Lie for mastering Spanish vowels (although it can be used for all kind of languages). Pronunciation can be
practised by repeating words, that are pronounced by a native speaker, into a microphone which are analyzed
real-time. As a result the vowels are shown in a vowel space together with the correct locations
when pronounced by a native speakers.
- Create fixations for Tobii EyeTracker on tab-delimited output
- EyeTracking experiments made with E-Prime give a tab-delimited output with gazes only. This program appends
columns to the original file, which will show the fixations that have been made (fixation position
and duration).
- Show fixations/heatmap for Tobii EyeTracker
- When Create Fixations has been used (see above), a couple of columns have been appended with fixation information. This
program will show in time where the fixations where made (overlay on picture).
- Play sinusoid for E-Prime
- A dll has been made that can be used by E-Prime, so that dynamically created sinusoids can be played. If this is fed into
the second channel of a recording device, information can be written to the recorded file by using different frequencies for
the sinusoids.
- File parser with formal grammar
- Files that contains blocks with a certain "pattern" that can be described in a formal grammar, can be checked
to see if the rules are correctly applied (by use of lexer/parser).
- Check/control parallel port
- Tool for controlling the parallel port, so that there can be checked if the right address is used, and
that all data lines are correctly functioning.
- Tools
-
- Automatic resizing of pictures in folder
- BDF-reader/changer
- Show Unicodes for given word
- Movie to jpg (every "x" ms).
