ATTEX
Vol. IThe digital ground truthest. 2025 · spin-off from Tobii

The human attention database.

Only about 30% of the ads that reach a human screen are ever looked at. The rest is bought, rendered — and never seen. ATTEX is the ground-truth dataset for what people actually look at online, with real eye-tracking at its core. A shared, auditable database that media, AI and the marketing industry build on, compare against, and trust.

Three 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.

A person, their screen —
and the gaze between them, recorded.
