Simi Scout is a software which can be used for many different purposes ranging from game and tactics analysis through industrial applications to behavioral research. We already have customers in all these areas who are enthusiastic users of Simi Scout. The open structure of the software allows it to be used in a wide range of application areas. There is practically no task which cannot be performed with it.
Any number of attributes can be specified by means of a freely definable list of attributes. These attributes can be embedded at different levels. Different levels can be arbitrarily interconnected later to allow the analysis of even the most complex processes. For example, insights into the behavior of individuals in a discussion group can be gained without actively intervening in the discussion. The directions of movement of masses of people in public areas, towns or concert halls can be analyzed so that escape routes can be optimized, for instance.
Simi Scout features a simply structured graphical user interface. The analyst even has the additional option of adding more attributes of interest during an analysis. When data acquisition has been completed, extensive display features are available with which the acquired data can be manipulated and presented. The linking of a video stream with the data is a very interesting feature. For each selected action the user can display the corresponding video image or play back complete video clips. In this way individual test persons can be shown the video sequences of their actions. It has been proved that a considerably more effective correction of mistakes is possible when video images are used. Results can be filtered according to customer-defined attributes and output in a video file.
All acquired data is stored in a database and can be used for comparisons with other projects.
