Last week in Sweden I was fortunate enough to use the new Tobii X1 Light Eye Tracker. It’s a snap on eye tracking system for the portable lab. You can also use magnets or tape to snap it onto the front of an ATM or kiosk for in-field testing!

Attach the Tobii X1 Light Eye Tracker to any monitor or laptop.

Tobii X1 Light Eye Tracker

Here’s the unveiling to resellers! Yes, the fisheye is overkill but it was on my camera

You can see more info on the tracker on this Youtube.

One of my favorite applications of the Tobii X1 Light Eye Tracker is easily tracking track real-world interfaces such as an information kiosk or a ticket machine. Check it out.

10 minute mind map challenge for consultants

admin — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 20:24:13 +0000

Have you ever been caught in front of your computer doing nothing in particular?

The other day I thought up the 10 minute challenge.

Identify something important in your business that needs addressing and write it in the centre of a mind map. E.g.
- need more sales meetings
- need more web traffic
For 10 minutes mind map the stream of thought about all the things you can do to achieve your chosen outcome. Write things down really quickly. Put yourself under the pump.
Then do all the activities that arise.

A little bit of reflection every now and then can greatly improve your business.
