Heritage & evolution
Years in the usability lab. Rebuilt for today.
Ovo Logger isn't new to lab research. It helped define the practice. This is that lineage, evolved: the rigor of a classic moderated lab, with an engine, an intelligence, and a privacy model built for the way research works now.
01 / The lineage
A long line, carried forward, not a fresh start.
The moderated usability lab has a rich history: observation rooms, synchronized recording, note-takers behind the glass. Ovo Logger grew up in that world and kept advancing while the industry drifted to the browser. ADC 4 is the latest step, not the first.
The classic suites
Desktop tools like Morae defined moderated lab research - observation, multi-source recording, structured findings. Coming from Morae?
A Windows original
Ovo's long-running lab tool - multi-source capture, surveys, task materials, and findings, in the lab.
64-bit & HD
A modern encoding core, up to four HD sources recorded together, even from a portable lab.
Rebuilt, intelligent, on-premises
A new engine, AI that runs on your hardware, offline by design, and a modern, accessible interface.
02 / Kept & rebuilt
We kept what mattered. We rebuilt everything else.
The move to the cloud traded away the rigor of a real lab for convenience. We didn't. What made lab research trustworthy stayed, and the machinery beneath it is entirely new.
WHAT WE KEPT
The discipline of a proper usability lab - the parts the browser generation left behind.
- Moderated sessions with real observers behind the glass
- Multiple synchronized sources on one timeline
- Task timing, tagging, and structured findings
- Deliverables that travel - the study's data as HTML and CSV, opening anywhere with no viewer software
- A lab you own and control, room and hardware included
WHAT WE REBUILT
Everything under the hood - a generational leap, not a coat of paint.
- A modern capture engine - efficient, high-frame-rate, multi-source
- On-premises AI - findings, Q&A, and study design with no upload
- On-premises by design - offline, air-gapped, node-locked
- A modern, accessible UI - themes, high-DPI, WCAG 2.2 AA
- A self-contained project, one file you hold, no server
03 / Coming forward
If you know the lab, you already know this.
Whether you're a long-time Ovo Logger lab or coming from another classic desktop suite, the practice you already run carries straight over - the same moderated flow, just modernized. And we help you bring your history with you.
Your workflow, familiar
Setup, record, observe, review, report - the loop you know, rebuilt cleaner.
Bring your studies forward
We help migrate projects and lab setups from earlier Ovo Logger versions.
Keep your lab investment
Your room, your hardware, your team - modernized around them, not replaced.
