The ReadAlyzer 2K Wireless is the latest innovation from Compevo AB, a Swedish company known for its expertise in designing and manufacturing advanced visual tracking systems like the ReadAlyzer, Visagraph USB, and Visagraph II.
These cutting-edge wireless goggles utilize Dual Mode Bluetooth technology to connect seamlessly to Windows software (standalone–does not require internet connection) , delivering a completely cable-free, self-contained experience. Their ergonomic, durable design fits comfortably over glasses, and they offer selectable sampling speeds–100 or 250 Hz for standard reading applications, or up to 2000 Hz for high-precision research involving saccadic velocity analysis.
Equipped with 16 infrared sensors per eye, the ReadAlyzer 2K provides highly accurate horizontal and vertical tracking, enabling precise fixation and regression analysis. This advanced capability lays the groundwork for future biofeedback features. Notably, these goggles are the first to quantify head movement in average degrees per second, offering new insights into visual behavior. They also feature an enhanced rechargeable NiMH battery system with a USB Type-C connector for added convenience. Users can quickly and easily align the sensors using the integrated alignment lights, ensuring optimal accuracy for every session.

by Compevo AB, the latest evolution in visual tracking technology from the Swedish company behind the ReadAlyzer, Visagraph USB, and Visagraph II.
- Seamless wireless connection: The unit uses Dual Mode Bluetooth 4.2 (Classic and Low Energy), providing versatility in how it connects to your computer. This allows for faster, direct pairing without the need for complicated setups or cables, resulting in a more user-friendly experience.
- All-in-one design: The ReadAlyzer 2K integrates all components into the goggles themselves. There are no external measuring units or cables involved, making it a fully wireless system. This results in a clutter-free and portable solution that simplifies setup and allows for more mobility.
- Enhanced comfort: This model was designed with user comfort in mind. Its lightweight construction makes it more comfortable to wear, particularly for long testing sessions or multiple trials. This is particularly beneficial in clinical or educational environments where patients or participants need to use the device for extended periods.
- High-speed precision: With sampling speeds of up to 2000 Hz, the ReadAlyzer 2K offers unmatched accuracy in tracking eye movements. This high-frequency sampling ensures more detailed data capture, providing sharper insights into reading behavior, saccadic velocities (quick eye movements between fixation points), and other eye motion metrics.
- Comprehensive tracking: The device captures both vertical and horizontal eye movements with high precision. This comprehensive coverage ensures that all forms of eye movements during reading (fixation, saccades, regressions) are accurately recorded, allowing for deeper analysis of reading performance and visual behavior.
- Optimal alignment: Built-in adjustment lights make it easy for the user or operator to properly align the goggles’ sensors before starting a test. This ensures that the sensors are positioned correctly for every recording, resulting in more consistent and accurate data across sessions.
- Rechargeable convenience: The goggles are powered by a medical-grade, removable NiMH battery, which can be recharged via a USB Type-C connection. This rechargeable design eliminates the need for frequent battery replacements, reducing downtime between tests and making it a more eco-friendly option.
- Advanced head movement tracking: The ReadAlyzer 2K also incorporates a 3-axis head movement tracker. This added feature allows for the recording and analysis of head movements during reading, offering additional insight into a subject’s reading posture and whether head movements contribute to reading inefficiencies.
The ReadAlyzer 2K Wireless is a significant upgrade in the field of eye-tracking technology. Its wireless, all-in-one design, combined with advanced features like high-speed sampling, comprehensive eye movement tracking, and head movement analysis, offers practitioners unparalleled precision in analyzing reading and visual performance issues. The system is highly suitable for educational and research applications, as well.
