HX Embed, HX Embed Redirect and HX Embed 'Multi' allow you to use Element Human's cutting edge gaze tracking and facial coding algorithms within your existing survey system or environment of choice.
There are two* HX Embed activity types that you can choose from:
HX Embed - embed your test inside your survey or environment using javascript
HX Embed Redirect - redirect participants to your test using a redirect URL
*If you want to create multiple stim tests, follow the HX Embed 'Multi' instructions to learn how to link multiple HX Embed (javascript) activities together.
HX Embed
With HX Embed you are provided with a javascript code that can be embedded directly into your own survey. This allows you to run our test within your own environment or survey without the participant leaving the environment.

Once participants have finished the test they're guided to the next step in your sequence, as determined by you.
To learn more about setting up an HX Embed (javascript) activity, click on the button below.
HX Embed Redirect
With HX Embed Redirect you are provided with a redirect URL as an alternative option to javascript. This URL can be embedded or shared any way you like.

Participants are asked to click on the URL which guides them to our platform and seamlessly starts the test. Once participants have completed the test they are redirected to a destination of your choice, specified by you within the set up process of the redirect URL.
While this option temporarily redirects participants away from your environment and experience, albeit it seamlessly, it doesn't provide a safe and reliable option should you not be able to use the embeddable javascript code offered in the above HX Embed activity type.

HX Embed 'Multi'
You can also create an HX Embed 'Multi' activity, which allows you to link multiple stims together.

Webcam check

Demographic questions
Video stimulus
