Tobii Pro Lab
New versatile software platform
Tobii Pro Lab is our latest software platform designed for comprehensive research into human behavior. It can be used with all our screen based and wearable eye trackers, including our eye tracking integrated VR headsets. With Pro Lab you can also combine eye tracking data with other physiological data streams.
From in-store shopper research to psychology experiments, Pro Lab allows you to expand the scope and depth of your eye tracking research, while making it easier than ever to design, execute, and analyze your work.
Overview
Workflow efficiency
Pro Lab adds efficiency in every step of your study workflow with intelligent design and intuitive software features. You can easily create complex experiments, collect eye tracking data, observe and analyze individual recordings, and aggregate data for quantitative analysis and visualization – all in one tool.
Powerful insights
Pro Lab manages large volumes of data with an automated process for meaningful interpretation and powerful presentation of your results. With just a few clicks, you can calculate statistics and create compelling visualizations, obtaining a top-down overview of your data and uncovering unique deep insights.
Data you can trust
Built on an ingenious, state-of-the-art platform, Pro Lab ensures precise and consistent timing accuracy – down to the millisecond. It offers full transparency with tools for controlling your collected data, so you can rely on your analysis and findings with confidence.
Combining biometric data
Pro Lab makes it possible to combine eye tracking with other biometric data streams like EEG, GSR, or ECG without the need for deep technical knowledge. It enables a wide variety of biometric research scenarios and paradigms for a more well-rounded view of human behavior, which opens up the possibility for new research questions.
Features
Support for multiple studies
Use the software in a wide range of paradigms and study types to analyze data from participants involved in 'real-world' or stationary study environments with physical, screen based, or virtual stimuli.
- Import and analyze Tobii Pro Glasses 2 recordings.
- Design, record and analyze screen-based content and 360-degree content in VR, with the possibility to integrate other biometric sensors.
- Scene camera recordings and analysis with the possibility to integrate other biometric sensors .
Flexible experiment design
Easily design randomized and counter-balanced experiments with up to hundreds of stimuli for a variety of screen-based research paradigms and scenarios.
- Images and video stimuli, including 360 degree content
- Multiple trials
- Efficient drag-and-drop interface with in-line editing
- Change settings for multiple trials with a click
Transparent recording workflow
Present stimuli and record eye tracking data while monitoring the progress with user-friendly moderator and control tools.
- Intuitive setup of your sensors, including the scene camera, eye trackers, and other biometric devices
- Flexible calibration before and during recordings, with numeric results feedback
- Dedicated infant calibration tool
- Live status of recording devices and sensors
- Real-time viewing of participants' live gaze and stimulus seen
Gaze replay and event coding
Replay recordings with participants' gaze superimposed. Use events to annotate segments of specific interest and to code user behavior for filtering out relevant data sets. Plot gaze data and adjust gaze filters with full transparency.
- Gaze replay and video export
- Event coding and event export
- Gaze charts plotting gaze data screen coordinates and gaze velocity
- Adjustable gaze filters for eye movement classifications
Automated Real-World Mapping
Automatically aggregate and map data recorded with Tobii Pro Glasses 2 onto snapshots. Once the mapping is applied, you can immediately start extracting statistics or begin visualizing the data, which dramatically reduces the time needed to analyze real-world eye tracking data.
- Confidence graph indicates the algorithm's ability to map gaze points accurately
- Option to override or complement automatically-mapped points using manual coding
Powerful analytics and visualizations
Calculate areas of interest (AOIs) or event metrics and visualize your data for quantitative analysis and interpretation. You can optimize your workflow by filtering out and focusing only on relevant data sets in order to answer research questions using behavioral-coding methods.
- Heatmap and gaze plot visualizations
- Metrics based on static and dynamic AOIs
- Task-based event metrics
- Data segmentation based on participant variables
- Export of raw data and metrics with advanced filtering options to only export relevant data sets
Integration with GSR (galvanic skin response)
Combine eye tracking with GSR data and gain deeper insight into human behavior. Integrating the Shimmer3 GSR+ Unit, Pro Lab offers everything from study design and recording, to the visualization, analysis, and export of GSR data, together with eye tracking data, in a single software solution.
- Integrated recording and automatic synchronization of GSR data and eye tracking data from our screen-based eye trackers
- Display of GSR and eye tracking data charts on the same timeline
- Filtering of GSR dataand GSR metrics
- Export of GSR data and metrics, together with eye tracking, in one file
This solution allows for the analysis of participants' emotional intensity concurrent with their visual attention to stimuli.
Simple data synchronization
Easily synchronize stimuli presentation and eye tracking data recordings with other biometric data streams without the need for configuration or extensive technical knowledge.
- TTL signals, sent from the software through a parallel port on stimulus onset, are turned on with a click of the mouse
- Precise and consistent millisecond-timing of stimulus onset and duration
- Presentation of images on the screen for as short as 50 milliseconds
- Use sent events for efficient synchronization
In this video, Estefania Dominguez, Biometric Specialist at Tobii Pro, gives a research perspective on the challenges and benefits of combining eye tracking and EEG.
Software editions
Tobii Pro Lab is a comprehensive solution that works with all of our eye trackers – from screen-based to wearable. You can choose from three different editions to meet your specific needs: Full, Analyzer, Presenter, and VR 360.
Full edition
For users of screen-based eye trackers from Tobii Pro, the Full edition provides the complete set of tools needed to support all steps of the study workflow. From experiment design and data recording to comprehensive analysis, visualization, and comprehensive data export. The Full edition covers all of the features offered by the Analyzer, Presenter and VR 360 editions.
Analyzer edition
The Analyzer edition gives access to automated Real-World Mapping and the tools needed for a comprehensive post analysis, visualization, and export of your data. If you use Pro Glasses 2, data recording is supported by the Tobii Pro Glasses Controller software, so you do not need the Full edition.
Presenter edition
If you use our screen-based eye trackers, the Presenter edition supports experiment design, data recording, and raw data export. Your collected data can then be analyzed using the Analyzer edition of Pro Lab or a third-party software for data processing and analysis (i.e. SPSS, Matlab, or Excel).
VR 360 edition
This edition is intended for users who want to collect eye tracking data from 360-degree images and videos within a VR environment. Supporting the entire workflow from study design and recording, to analysis and visualization output, it also integrates with GSR sensors for even more comprehensive behavioral data. The VR 360 edition is included in the full edition of Pro Lab.
