Arrington Research, Inc.

Arrington Research, Inc. is an American eye-tracking technology company based in Scottsdale, Arizona. It designs and sells the ViewPoint EyeTracker family of eye-tracking systems, a line of research-grade but comparatively affordable gaze-tracking products aimed at academic, clinical and commercial researchers. According to the company's own website, more than 2,000 ViewPoint systems have been sold worldwide, and the systems are used in psychology, neuroscience, marketing research, sports, training, usability and related fields. The product line spans monocular and binocular configurations, USB and wireless options, and frame rates such as 90 Hz and 400 Hz. Entry-level monocular 90 Hz systems are advertised as starting at only $5,998, a positioning that emphasizes accessibility for researchers who cannot afford high-end laboratory eye trackers. The company also offers the HeadLock 3DWorkSpace, described as a fully integrated eye-and-head-tracking solution supporting up to 100 display panels at no additional cost, with features such as Position of Gaze (POG) across multiple panels, Regions of Interest (ROI), post-hoc ROI re-specification, polygon and concave ROI, heat/fog/torch maps, vergence and version angle data, 3D scanpaths and a multiple-viewer option. Beyond conventional screen-based eye tracking, Arrington Research has built a strong niche in immersive and applied settings. The company states it has been a leader in providing eye tracking in VR, head-mounted displays (HMD) and augmented reality for more than 15 years, and that it worked with Boeing to provide gaze-contingent display in flight simulators as far back as 2005. Its EyeFrame SceneCamera system has been used for navigation research aboard high-speed rigid inflatable boats, and the company markets its ability to integrate eye tracking into "most anything." Arrington Research operates as a privately held company and sells primarily through its own website and catalog, which customers can download. Its customer base is heavily research-oriented, including university psychology departments and applied research groups. The company's messaging stresses affordability, accuracy and reliability, and it publishes user testimonials and application case studies to support that positioning.

Arrington Research, Inc. is an American eye-tracking company headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona. Public information about its founding is limited, but its own website and product materials document a history of more than two decades in applied eye-tracking research and instrumentation. The company's core product is the ViewPoint EyeTracker, a family of video-based eye-tracking systems sold in monocular and binocular configurations, with USB and wireless options and frame rates including 90 Hz and 400 Hz. The company states that more than 2,000 ViewPoint systems have been sold worldwide, and that the systems are used in psychology, neuroscience, marketing research, sports, training, usability and other fields. Entry-level monocular 90 Hz systems are advertised as starting at only $5,998, reflecting a strategy of making research-grade eye tracking accessible to a broad academic market. A defining theme in Arrington Research's history is the extension of eye tracking beyond the desktop. The company states that it has been a leader in providing eye tracking in VR, head-mounted displays and augmented reality for more than 15 years, and that it worked with Boeing to provide gaze-contingent display in flight simulators as far back as 2005. This Boeing VIDS 20/20 F-15E flight-simulator work is listed among the company's application areas, alongside collaborative virtual environment systems, EEG-plus-eye-tracking studies in product placement, and sports science. The company has also supported demanding field research. Its EyeFrame SceneCamera system was used in a high-speed navigation study in the Swedish archipelago, in which the ViewPoint EyeTracker was mounted aboard a 36-foot rigid inflatable boat operating at speeds up to 45–50 knots, exposed to wind and water spray. According to the company's account, a head-mounted sun/wind block was constructed, and the tracker maintained lock on subjects' eyes throughout the runs, including a subject wearing thick corrective sunglasses completing the course at 47 knots. The study was planned to continue with additional subjects. On the software and analysis side, Arrington Research has developed the HeadLock 3DWorkSpace, a fully integrated eye-and-head-tracking solution that supports up to 100 display panels at no additional cost. Its feature set includes Position of Gaze (POG) across multiple display panels, Regions of Interest (ROI) across multiple panels, post-hoc ROI re-specification, polygon and concave ROI, heat, fog and torch maps, vergence and version angle data, 3D scanpaths and a multiple-viewer option. Arrington Research remains a privately held, specialist instrumentation company. It sells through its own website and a downloadable catalog, and it markets directly to researchers, publishing user testimonials and application case studies. Its stated ambition is broad integration: "We can put eye tracking in most anything."
