What Types of Data Can Tobii Pro Spark Record and Analyze?
All of the crucial eye movement data needed for fixation-based behavioral research is captured by Tobii Pro Spark. Gaze point, gaze origin, pupil diameter, and high-precision timestamps recorded binocularly at up to 60 Hz are among its main outputs. With Tobii's analysis software, these measurements allow researchers to compute fixations, saccades, dwell duration, revisit counts, scan pathways, and gaze transitions.
Eye Tracking Data
Tobii Pro Spark records:
Gaze point
Gaze origin
Pupil diameter
High-precision timestamps
These measurements are captured:
Binocularly
At up to 60 Hz
Behavioural Metrics
Using the recorded eye movement data, researchers can calculate:
Fixations
Saccades
Dwell time
Revisit counts
Scan paths
Gaze transitions
using Tobii's analysis software.
Analysis with Tobii Pro Lab
When used with Tobii Pro Lab, researchers can generate:
Heat maps
Areas of Interest (AOIs)
Time of Interest (TOIs)
Gaze plots
Fixation statistics
Participant comparisons
Behavioural metrics
These analyses reveal patterns of visual attention and are widely used in:
Psychology
Education
Consumer research
Website usability
Interface design
Marketing studies
Data Export & Advanced Analysis
Tobii Pro Spark fully supports export of raw gaze data for additional analysis using:
Python
MATLAB
R
SPSS
Custom statistical workflows through the Tobii Pro SDK
Advanced Features Not Included
Unlike Tobii Pro Fusion and Tobii Pro Spectrum, Tobii Pro Spark does not provide:
Eye openness data streams
Eye image streams
TTL synchronization
This reflects its focus on affordable fixation-based research rather than advanced neuroscience applications.
Summary
In order to calculate fixations, saccades, dwell duration, revisit counts, scan pathways, and gaze transitions, Tobii Pro Spark records gaze point, gaze origin, pupil diameter, and high-precision timestamps at up to 60 Hz. Heat maps, AOIs, TOIs, gaze plots, fixation statistics, participant comparisons, and behavioral metrics are among the studies that can be performed using Tobii Pro Lab. Additionally, raw data export for analysis using Python, MATLAB, R, SPSS, and the Tobii Pro SDK is supported.
