UXR Eye Tracking review
A free Chrome tool for quick webcam-based gaze previews and synchronized playback.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
UXR Eye Tracking is a free, browser-based tool for UX research teams that need a straightforward way to record a participant’s webcam and screen, estimate gaze from recorded video, and review the result. It runs on a PC in the Chrome browser and requires a webcam and microphone for recording. The tool also supports MP4 and WebM video loading, making it relevant for preview analysis of both new recordings and existing video files.
Its strongest area is synchronized review. Face-view and screen-view playback stay aligned with a master timeline, while resizable and reorderable multi-viewer widgets let researchers arrange the review workspace. MediaPipe-based gaze tracking is applied to recorded video, and adjustable gaze-analysis parameters provide control over the analysis. For a quick browser workflow, the combination of recording, playback, parameter adjustment, and automatic result-video download keeps the core process in one place.
The main trade-off is depth. The published workflow uses 10% analysis sampling for preview, so it is better suited to lightweight inspection than detailed research analysis. The documented export format is WebM, and the tool is tied to PC Chrome browser use with webcam-based input. Choose UXR Eye Tracking when simple playback and an accessible preview workflow matter most. Choose another eye-tracking tool when a project needs deeper analysis workflows, broader platform support, or export requirements beyond the documented browser setup and WebM result videos.
