Eye tracking for groups: every participant, on one timeline.
Most eye-tracking studies record one person at a time. Ergoneers’ Prophea.X records several participants at once, each with their own gaze, synchronised with video, audio, physiology and simulator data. That makes real group studies possible: teams, crews, classrooms and co-drivers.

01 · Group studies
People rarely look alone. Now you can measure them together.
When several participants share a task, the interesting behaviour is between them: who looks where first, who follows whom, and when attention is shared or lost. Recording each person separately and stitching the data together afterwards is slow and error-prone. Prophea.X records them together.
Shared attention
Who saw it, and who followed
See where each participant was looking at the same moment, in shared or separate visual spaces, and how attention passes from one person to another.
Collaboration
Teams and crews
Pilot and co-pilot, driver and passenger, surgeon and assistant: analyse interpersonal dynamics and collaboration patterns, not just individual gaze.
Comparison
Many participants, one session
Run comparative studies with several participants in the same session, so everyone experiences identical conditions and timing.
Control rooms
Operators under load
Multi-operator control rooms and simulators, where safety depends on who is watching which display.
Education
Classrooms and training
Classroom engagement and group training, measured across the whole group rather than one learner at a time.
Consumers
Group and social studies
Shopper, product and usability studies where people decide together, as they do in real life.
02 · How Prophea.X does it
One recording for the whole group.
Prophea.X builds on Ergoneers’ earlier D-Lab software. It runs on Windows 11 and is licensed in tiers by the number of inputs you record.
Record
Prophea Data Engine
Captures gaze from multiple participants at once, with real-time monitoring for each subject, and automatically synchronises it with video, audio, biometrics and simulator inputs.
Analyse
Prophea eye
Event-optimised timelines and project AOIs identified automatically across all participants in 3D, with more than 30 metrics, from time to first glance to AOI attention ratio, and gaze metrics to ISO 15007.
Live and after
Live view, deep analysis
Watch every participant live during the session for immediate feedback, then analyse the full group afterwards.
Automate
Prophea autorecog
AI object and pattern recognition that finds what participants looked at without placing AOI markers in the scene.
Integrate
Prophea API
Connect your own simulators, vehicles, devices and tools through the API and SDK.
Support
Existing D-Lab users
Ergoneers still supports D-Lab, including on Windows 11. We can advise on moving studies to Prophea.X.
03 · Working with Tobii
Several Tobii Pro Glasses 3, in one synchronised study.
Ergoneers lists Tobii Pro Glasses 3 as a plug-and-play device for the Prophea Data Engine and Prophea eye, and names Tobii among its sensor partners. Each participant wears their own Tobii glasses; Prophea.X brings them together.
Why pair them. Tobii Pro Glasses 3 gives research-grade gaze with raw data for each person. Prophea.X puts every participant on one timeline with the video, physiology and simulator data, so group behaviour can be analysed in hours rather than weeks of manual alignment.
04 · Also built for vehicles
Vehicle and simulator data, in the same file.
Ergoneers grew up in automotive human factors, and lists Audi, BMW, Jaguar Land Rover, Volkswagen, Airbus and Bosch among its clients since 2005.
Automotive
HMI and driver distraction
Glance duration and frequency to ISO 15007 for infotainment, displays and controls, in the car or the simulator.
Simulators
Triggered by the scenario
Simulator streams captured live over TCP/IP, CAN or ROS, with markers and events triggered by simulator state.
Automated driving
Take-over and co-driving
How driver and co-driver watch the road, and re-engage, when automation hands back control.
05 · Questions
Before you specify.
Can Prophea.X record several participants at once?
Yes. Multi-subject recording is the core of Prophea.X: gaze from several participants is captured in parallel, monitored live for each person, and synchronised with video, audio, physiology and simulator data on one timeline.
Does it work with Tobii eye trackers?
Yes. Ergoneers lists Tobii Pro Glasses 3 as a plug-and-play device for the Prophea Data Engine and Prophea eye. Ergoneers also states support for Tobii screen-based systems in multi-subject studies; tell us your set-up and we will confirm it.
How are AOIs handled across a group?
Prophea eye identifies project AOIs automatically across all participants in 3D, so the same areas of interest apply to everyone without coding each recording by hand.
We use D-Lab. Do we have to switch?
No. Ergoneers still supports D-Lab, including on Windows 11. Prophea.X builds on D-Lab, and we can help you plan a move when it suits your programme.
How is Prophea.X licensed?
By the number of synchronised inputs: Lite, Standard (7 inputs), Extended (20) and Unlimited. A group study needs more inputs, so we size it to your participants and sensors.
