8.1 Start eye tracking
To see where the participant’s focus is, open Tobii Pro Eye Tracker Manager and activate
Gaze Visualization by toggling the switch on the Overview tab. A hazy blob appears on
the screen, indicating where attention is focused. Use this functionality to verify that your
eye tracker is running, that the display is correctly set up, and that your eye tracker is
calibrated.
8.2 Tobii Pro Lab
Tobii Pro Lab provides a comprehensive platform for the recording and analysis of eye
gaze data, which helps in the interpretation of human behavior, consumer responses,
and psychology. Combining simple preparation for testing procedures and advanced
tools for Visualization and analysis, eye-tracking data is easily processed for useful
comparison, interpretation, and presentation. A broad range of studies are supported,
from usability testing and market research, to psychology and oculomotor physiological
experiments. Tobii Pro Lab’s intuitive workflow, along with its advanced analysis tools,
enables large and small studies in a timely and cost-efficient way without the need for
extensive training.
In addition to offering powerful analysis tools, Tobii Pro Lab is also designed to work with
other software commonly used for recording and analyzing data. This is done by
synchronizing with recording software using TTL, as well as by enabling data exports in
standardized formats, for example for Microsoft Excel, Matlab, and SPSS.
