What do I need a multi-room lab for?
Skills training
To train students and professionals, to test new protocols, or to study interactions, multiple simulated environments can be included. Multiple sessions can take place simultaneously.
Developmental studies
By using multiple rooms to simulate different learning environments you can observe how children interact with educational materials and activities.
Consumer behavior analysis
Simulating a retail environment in one room and an advertising viewing room in another can help researchers understand the effects of marketing strategies on purchasing decisions.
Usability tests
A multi-room lab allows for simultaneous observation of user interactions in realistic and controlled settings, enabling thorough analysis of user behavior and interface effectiveness.
Why should I choose a multi-room lab?
Research, training, or testing can require more than one room to be effective. For example, in case of:
- checkLarge number of participants
- checkDiverse conditions
- checkSimulation of different real-life scenarios
- checkMulti-phase studies where participants need to move between different settings
What equipment do I need?
Stable images, high quality video recordings, and clear recordings of speech and other sounds make all the difference. Each room can be tailored to mimic real-life environments or controlled experimental setups.
- checkRecording devices such as IP or Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras, webcams
- checkMicrophones, microphone amplifiers, and audio mixer
- checkCentral computer with multiple screens in the control room
- checkOptional: Screen capture device(s), data acquisition tool(s), and eye tracker(s)
What is the best software tool for my multi-room lab?
