Observer最初是作为手动事件记录器开发的，用于收集、管理、分析和呈现动物的观察数据。由于后来版本的灵活性，很明显，观察者适用于几乎任何涉及收集动物和人类观察数据的研究。此外，最新版本的观察者（观察者XT）允许整合和同步来自各种来源的多模态信号，如观察，视频，跟踪和生理数据。本文介绍了如何使用观察者XT整合和同步视频，观察，跟踪和生理数据，从2001年在瓦赫宁根大学和研究中心的瓦赫宁根动物科学研究所进行的实验。这些多模态信号在The Observer XT中的整合和同步使用户能够绘制出所研究现象的更完整的图片。
The Observer was originally developed as a manual event recorder for the collection, management, analysis, and presentation of observational data in animals. Because of the flexibility of later versions, it became clear that The Observer was suitable for almost any study involving collection of observational data in both animals and humans. Furthermore, the most recent version of The Observer (The Observer XT) allows the integration and synchronization of multimodal signals from various sources, such as observational, video, tracking, and physiological data. This article describes how The Observer XT was used to integrate and synchronize video, observational, tracking, and physiological data from an experiment carried out in 2001 at the Wageningen Institute of Animal Sciences of Wageningen University and Research Centre. The integration and synchronization of these multimodal signals in The Observer XT allows the user to draw a more complete picture of the phenomena under study.
