”In the coming decade, we are going to see an expansion of human behavioral research utilizing multimodal approaches, and the addition of iMotions and its multi-sensor integration software gives us the tools to unlock increased value for Smart Eye’s customers, particularly in the automotive industry. The future is multimodal with technological advances likely to make it easier, faster and more cost-effective to understand what’s driving human behavior and decision making. With iMotions, we’re adding multimodal analysis software to our advanced eye tracking and facial expression analysis platform”, said Martin Krantz, CEO and Founder of Smart Eye.
