Euro-Emotur project

Eye-tracking research is part of the Euro-Emotur project, which contributes to the digitalisation and innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the tourism industry. The project connects businesses with digital technology through the emotions of people (travellers) and expertise (university labs).
