Capture Every Interaction in Real-time

Thanks to the strategically positioned ceiling camera, capturing smartphone interfaces during UI/UX studies has never been easier. These interactions can be projected onto the large monitor and/or straight into the backroom, allowing viewers to observe all the action in real-time. With adaptable ceiling lighting, we’ve also eliminated any pesky reflections to allow for optimal visibility.
