## TL;DR

A browser-based app was developed to collect synchronized data in real-life music experiments using eye tracking and self-reported responses.

## Contribution

The paper introduces a browser-based app for real-time data collection and reports its feasibility in a vocal group eye-tracking study.

## Key findings

- The app successfully synchronized self-reported questions with eye-tracking and audio data in real-life music settings.
- The digital tool enabled seamless integration into everyday situations and time-based data gathering.
- The feasibility of using the app in vocal group eye-tracking studies was confirmed.

## Abstract

Studying people in real-life situations, such as making music in a vocal group, requires flexible and integrative measurement technology. Therefore, a digital browser-based survey instrument was developed for this study. It was designed to seamlessly introduce questions on participants' mobile devices through external control immediately after relevant events, aiming to achieve high accuracy in self-administered situational questions. In addition, chronological synchronization with supplementary measurements (here eye-tracking and audio recording) was incorporated. Digital features of this web app offer convenient integration into everyday situations, synchronous interviewing of multiple people, and gathering time-based data. Due to the numerous possibilities of the browser-based development interface, various other application areas can be opened up.
