Researchers can oversee every phase of an eye tracking study with Tobii Pro Glasses 3 thanks to its extensive software environment, which includes enhanced visualization, statistical analysis, data export, and participant calibration and data collecting. The platform offers developer tools for unique workflows as well as ready-to-use software for academic research, usability testing, consumer behavior studies, and human factors evaluations.

Tobii Pro Lab:

  • Tobii Pro Lab, the company's expert eye tracking analysis platform, is the main software utilized with Tobii Pro Glasses 3.

  • Once a recording is finished, researchers can use Tobii Pro Lab to import the data and replay the participant's first-person video with synchronized gaze overlays.

Analysis Tools:

Tobii Pro Lab provides a wide range of analysis tools, including:

  • Areas of Interest (AOIs)

  • Time of Interest (TOIs)

  • Heat maps

  • Gaze plots

  • Scan paths

  • Fixation statistics

  • Timeline visualizations

Researchers can also:

  • Annotate events

  • Compare multiple participants

  • Calculate quantitative metrics

  • Export results for further statistical analysis in third-party software

This makes Tobii Pro Lab suitable for both qualitative observation and rigorous scientific research.

Tobii Pro Glasses 3 Controller App:

For recording sessions, Tobii provides the Tobii Pro Glasses 3 Controller App, which is available for:

  • Windows 10

  • Windows 11

  • macOS Ventura (13)

  • macOS Sonoma (14)

  • Android 13

  • Android 14

The Controller App allows researchers to:

  • Perform participant calibration

  • Monitor live gaze data

  • Start recordings

  • Stop recordings

  • Insert event markers

  • Conduct participant interviews

  • Review recordings immediately after data collection

This enables researchers to verify tracking quality before concluding a study, reducing the need for repeat sessions.

Tobii Pro Glasses 3 API:

  • For laboratories that require customized workflows or integration with other research platforms, Tobii also provides the Tobii Pro Glasses 3 API.

  • The API is platform- and programming language-independent and is built on standard technologies such as:

    • HTTP REST

    • WebSocket

    • RTSP

    • WebRTC

  • Through the API, developers can:

    • Remotely calibrate the glasses

    • Control recordings

    • Access live gaze streams

    • Retrieve scene camera video

    • Automatically download recordings from the recording unit

  • Because the API exposes both live and post-session data, it is widely used for integrating Tobii Pro Glasses 3 with:

    • Simulation environments

    • Custom research software

    • Artificial intelligence applications

    • Multimodal data acquisition systems

Data Export & Statistical Analysis:

Researchers also benefit from flexible data export options.

Tobii Pro Lab allows the export of:

  • Raw gaze data

  • Fixation events

  • Participant metadata

  • AOI metrics

  • Timestamps

  • Annotated events

This enables further analysis in statistical software such as:

  • MATLAB

  • Python

  • R

  • SPSS

  • Custom analysis pipelines

This flexibility makes Tobii Pro Glasses 3 suitable not only for behavioural research but also for advanced computational analysis and machine learning applications.

Summary:

A comprehensive software environment for participant calibration, recording, visualization, analysis, data export, and interaction with external research platforms is offered by Tobii Pro Glasses 3, Tobii Pro Lab, the Tobii Pro Glasses 3 Controller App, and the Tobii Pro Glasses 3 API. In addition to exporting data for additional analysis in MATLAB, Python, R, SPSS, or custom analysis pipelines, researchers can examine recordings utilizing AOIs, TOIs, heat maps, gaze plots, scan routes, fixation statistics, timeline visualizations, and quantitative measures.
