2 Introduction
Tobii Glasses 2 is designed to enable easy, precise and efficient collection of eye tracking data in a wide variety of research
scenarios. The discreet, ultra-lightweight design ensures natural behavior and research validity in both qualitative and quantita-
tive real-world research. Accurate data and robust eye tracking capabilities can be relied on in uncontrolled situations and real-
world environments.
2.1 Intended use
Tobii Glasses 2 is intended to be used in research activities about human behavior including eye movements, involving adult
participants in a dry and dust free indoor environment. The product should only be used as described in the User’s Manual.
Please read the User’s Manual and other supplied documentation thoroughly before using the product.
2.2 Usage overview
The Tobii Glasses 2 eye tracking system is designed to be used for research purposes with adult participants and it includes
the lightweight Tobii Glasses Head Unit, a wearable Recording Unit and Tobii Glasses Controller Software running on a Win-
dow 8 Pro tablet or any Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 7 computer. The tablet/computer may or may not be included in the ship-
ment depending on what package was purchased.
To record eye tracking data, the Tobii Glasses Head Unit must be fitted onto the test participant’s head (similar to a standard
pair of glasses). The system must then be calibrated separately for each participant. In the calibration process the test partici-
pant is asked to look at a Calibration Card held in-front of the participant for a few seconds. The researcher then starts the re-
cording from Tobii Glasses Controller Software running on a Windows 8/8.1 Pro tablet or any Windows 8/8.1 or 7 computer.
After the session, the researcher stops the recording and removes the head unit from the test participant. All interactions with
the eye tracker (adding participants to test, initiating calibration, starting/stopping recordings etc.) are done through Tobii
Glasses Controller Software. The controller software also enables the researcher to view the eye tracking session both in real-
time (streamed through a wireless or wired connection) and after the recording. When viewing a recording, the participant’s
gaze point appears as a colored dot on the scene camera video from the HD camera integrated in the Tobii Glasses 2 Head
Unit.
For any eye tracking analysis beyond looking at the eye tracking replay (as described above), recorded data must be transferred
to a computer running Tobii Glasses Analysis Software. Tobii Glasses Analysis Software runs on Windows computers and must
be purchased separately. Tobii Eye Trackers are designed for use in indoor office environments.
