YouEye bills itself as a “UX lab in the cloud,” offering usability studies that record participants’ interactions, webcam video and audio, and emotion-recognition data. Its face-recognition algorithms reportedly detect over 50,000 micro-expressions and map expressions to feelings such as happy, surprised, puzzled, disgusted, afraid and sad. The service is alpha-testing eye-tracking as an additional data input and allows customers to pick tester demographics and annotate videos. Customers named in the article include Airbnb, Microsoft and Eventbrite. Pricing starts at $39 per participant (including webcam/audio recording, emotion data and post-study survey answers) and most results are available within 48 hours. YouEye also launched Insite, a freemium product (limited beta) that lets sites invite visitors to opt in to studies and capture full webcam video via a single line of code.
