Which Software Is Compatible with Tobii Pro Glasses 3, and How Is the Collected Data Analyzed?
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.
