Profile
Mirametrix Research is a privately held company based in Vancouver, B.C. that develops eye tracking hardware and software systems for market research, usability analysis and academic research applications. The products are sold directly to clients worldwide.

History
Mirametrix is a spin-off from the University of British Columbia with initial funding from the National Research Council of Canada. Their initial focus was on providing eye-tracking solutions for gaze controlled applications in association with the ALS Society of British Columbia Engineering Design Competition. Notable applications include on-screen gaze-based typing and a gaze-controlled motorized neck brace.

Open standard interface
Mirametrix has developed an open standard interface for eye tracking systems which is increasingly being used to develop gaze-aware applications. The interface uses only the open standards TCP/IP and XML with the goal of increasing the number of independently developed gaze-aware application by decreasing the risk associated with developing software for a single eye tracking hardware manufacturer. An example application where the eye-gaze interface has been used in Brain-computer interface research. .
