3 Safety Declaration
3.1 Mounting Warning
Tobii Pro Spark should be mounted according to Tobii’s instructions for approved
mounts.
The mounting bracket is designed to stick to a variety of displays, such as
monitors and laptop screens. It is also designed to be removed cleanly. Failure
to follow the recommended removal instructions can result in damage to both
the monitor/laptop and the mounting bracket. Do not mount the eye tracker on
monitors placed above the user, as it might fall.
3.2 Emergency Warning
This eye tracker is designed to be used for research purposes only. Due to the
low, but possible risk of failure or distraction, the eye tracker should not be relied
upon or used in dangerous or critical situations.
3.3 Epilepsy Warning
Some people with photosensitive epilepsy are susceptible to epileptic seizures
or loss of consciousness when exposed to certain flashing lights or light patterns.
This can happen even if the person has no medical history of epilepsy or has
never had any epileptic seizures.
A person with photosensitive epilepsy is likely to experience similar problems
with TV screens, certain arcade games, and flickering fluorescent bulbs. Such
people may have a seizure while watching certain images or patterns on a
monitor, or even when exposed to the light sources of an eye tracker. It is
estimated that about 3-5% of people with epilepsy have this type of
photosensitive epilepsy. Many people with photosensitive epilepsy experience
an “aura” or feel odd sensations before the seizure occurs. If you feel odd during
use, move your eyes away from the eye tracker.
3.4 Infrared Warning
When activated, the eye tracker emits pulsed infrared (IR) light. Certain medical
devices are susceptible to disturbance by IR light and/or radiation. Do not use
the eye tracker in the vicinity of such medical devices, as their accuracy or proper
functionality could be inhibited. Do not stare into the LED lights at a close
distance (<15cm).
