What's new in INTERACT 20

The main focus of this software is to simplify the rather complex matter of video coding and behavioral analysis as far as possible.

This completely re-developed version is now also available on MacOS!

It is dedicated to get even more information from your data and to extend the already flexible pool of possible observation sources. All of this, of course, without losing any of the flexibility INTERACT is known and loved for.

We have again implemented many user requests, that benefit all INTERACT users. So do not hesitate to make any feature request of your own!
