30 years of EthoVision XT
EthoVision XT has been around for almost 30 years, during which it has evolved from video tracking software into a software platform capable of powering a full behavioral suite.
The core of EthoVision XT is tracking animal behavior with video. It is aimed at saving you time, while providing you with validated and robust data.
EthoVision XT 18
Tracking your research subjects just got simpler, smarter, and more precise. Now you can effortlessly monitor social interactions between two mice or rats—no need for color-marking or time-consuming setups.
This advanced, automated detection takes on the hard work, even in low-resolution video, so you can focus on your insights. Using deep-learning, EthoVision® XT 18 pinpoints each animal’s nose, center, and tail with impressive accuracy, making it perfect for a variety of research environments.
- Social interaction based on deep learning
- Automatic detection of both animals - no color marking
- Works in most scenarios
