ATTEX
Vol. IThe digital ground truthest. 2024 · spin-off from Tobii

The first complete record of where humanity actually looks online.

Real attention data — gaze, fixations, saccades — joined to every behaviour, channel and audience. Directly observed, not modeled. Not inferred. Not self-reported. A shared, auditable database that media, AI and the marketing industry can build on, compare against, and trust.

Built with — and for — the global media ecosystem

§ 01The problem

Every decision you've ever made was built on incomplete data.

None of today's sources show you the full human journey. You've been making billion-dollar decisions in the dark — not because you didn't try, but because the complete picture simply didn't exist.

Coverage of the human day, by source
  • Platform data
    30% coverage

    Tells you what happened on that platform. Nothing about the rest of the day.

  • Surveys
    45% coverage

    Tell you what people think they did. Memory is unreliable.

  • Cookies
    60% coverage

    Fragments of a journey that spans dozens of surfaces — and break the moment a user opens a new app.

  • ATTEX — directly observed
    100% coverage

    The complete digital life of a panelist — passively captured, auditable, ready to query.

§ 02How it works

Two decades of eye-tracking science. Now a media panel.

ATTEX is a Tobii spin-off. The hardware, the calibration, the gaze models — all of it comes from the company that has defined eye-tracking for more than twenty years. This isn't new science. It's research-grade technology, productized for the way attention is bought and sold.

Panelists install once. Then we observe — silently, continuously, passively. No tasks. No surveys. No friction. Just real behaviour against verified gaze.

Heritage — by the numbers

Desktop

Tobii eye-tracking hardware paired with a Chrome extension. Full-context capture across browser tabs, search, AI chat and the open web — all on the same panelist.

Not modeled. Not inferred. Not reported. Directly observed.

See what the data can actually do.

Five interactive views on the ATTEX dataset. Numbers are illustrative. Not every view is in the public API today — but it's all in the data we're already collecting.

Drive a heatmap with your cursor.

Drag your finger or mouse over the creative — we treat each motion as a fixation and compute total attention time, dwell-per-zone and a modeled recall lift in real time. Same shape as the real Tobii panel.

With a real Tobii panel, every blob is millisecond-accurate gaze. Your cursor is just a stand-in — the metrics, joins and outputs are exactly the same.

§ 05Results across the ecosystem

One layer of attention data already drove measurable results for every tier of the industry.

Holding groups, performance agencies, brands and ad-tech platforms have already used ATTEX attention data on live campaigns. That was with one metric. Now we measure every layer — and join them.

Case 01
WPP Media · Acceleration

Average attention rate uplift
  • Retail · Ad recall +18% · Consideration +10%

§ 06For agencies & ad-tech

One database. Plug it into your stack.

We are not a dashboard vendor. ATTEX is the shared foundation — a transparent, auditable database that media, AI and the marketing industry can build on, compare against, and trust.

Raw export or API

Stream to S3, BigQuery or Snowflake — or query the JSON API directly. Same schema either way.

Real-time streaming

Push events into your bidder, MMM, MTA model or LLM training set as they happen.

Joinable identifiers

Stable panelist IDs, creative IDs, surface and content IDs — built to join with your stack.

Auditable & licensed

Consented panel, GDPR-grade documentation. Auditable lineage on every metric.

Same calls, same schema — whether you stream raw events, batch-export to your warehouse or query the JSON API.
