3 Safety
3.1 Safety
3.1.1 Mounting warning
Tobii Pro eye trackers should be mounted according to Tobii Pro´s instructions for approved mounts.
The mounting plate is designed for adhesion to a wide variety of surfaces, such as monitors or laptop screens. It
is also designed for clean removability. Failure to follow the recommended removal instructions can result in
damage to both the monitor/laptop and the mounting plate. Do not mount the eye tracker on monitors positioned
above the head or face of a user, as it might fall.
3.1.2 Emergency warning
Tobii Pro eye trackers should be used for research purposes only. Be aware that due to the low, but possible risk
of failure or distraction, the eye tracker should not be relied upon or used in dangerous or otherwise critical
situations.
3.1.3 Epilepsy warning
Some people with photosensitive epilepsy is susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when ex-
posed to certain flashing lights or light patterns in everyday life. This may happen even if the person has no medi-
cal history of epilepsy or has never had any epileptic seizures.
A person with photosensitive epilepsy would also be likely to have problems with TV screens, some arcade
games, and flickering fluorescent bulbs. Such people may have a seizure while watching certain images or pat-
terns 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 expe-
rience an “aura” or feel odd sensations before the seizure occurs. If you feel odd during use, move your eyes
away from the eye tracker.
3.1.4 Infrared warning
When activated, Tobii Pro eye trackers emit pulsed infrared (IR) light. Certain medical devices are susceptible to
disturbance by IR light and/or radiation. Do not use the eye tracker when in the vicinity of such susceptible medi-
cal devices, as their accuracy or proper functionality could be inhibited.
3.1.5 Magnetic field warning
Tobii Pro eye trackers contain magnets. Magnetic fields may interfere with the function of cardiac pacemakers
and implantable cardioverter defibrillators. As a general rule, maintain a minimum distance of 6 inches (15 centi-
meters) between any item with magnets and your heart device.
3.1.6 Child safety
This Tobii Pro eye tracker is an advanced computer system and electronic device. As such, it is composed of nu-
merous separate, assembled parts. In the hands of a child, certain of these parts have the possibility of being
separated from the device, possibly resulting in a choking hazard or other danger to the child.
Young children should not have access to, nor use of the device or its accessories without parental or guardian
supervision.
Tobii Pro Nano Eye Tracker User’s manual v.1.0.5 - en-US 3 Safety 5

3.1.7 Electricity
Do not open the casing of the eye tracker because you may be exposed to potentially hazardous electrical volt-
age. The device contains no user serviceable parts. Non-compliance will result in loss of warranty! Contact Tobii
Pro Support if your eye tracker is not working properly.
3.1.8 Accessories
Only use accessories provided by or approved by Tobii Pro AB.
3.1.9 Third party
Any use of a Tobii Pro eye tracker outside the intended use and together with any third-party software or hard-
ware that changes the intended use is a risk, and this is not a scenario for which Tobii Pro AB can take any
responsibility.

5 How Your Tobii Pro Nano Eye Tracker
Works
During tracking, Tobii Pro eye trackers use infrared illuminators to generate reflection patterns on the corneas of the partici-
pant’s eyes. These reflection patterns, together with other visual data about the participant, are collected by image sen-
sors. Sophisticated image processing algorithms identify relevant features, including the eyes and the corneal reflection
patterns. The Pro Nano is a single camera system that uses a combination of dark and bright pupil tracking. Complex
mathematics is used to calculate the 3D position of each eyeball, and finally the gaze point; in other words, where the par-
ticipant is looking.
Eye trackers from Tobii Pro are primarily designed for use in indoor office environments with adult participants.

6 Set Up Your Tobii Pro Eye Tracker
At the end of this setup, you will have a verified installation that is ready for use. Begin setting up your Pro Nano by unpack-
ing the eye tracker.
You can read more about setting up and installing your eye tracker in the online Tobii Pro Learning Center.
6.1 Download and install Tobii Pro Eye Tracker Manager
The first step is to get the free application, Tobii Pro Eye Tracker Manager on your computer. Setting up your eye tracker in-
volves installing the necessary drivers and software on your computer and the free Pro Eye Tracker Manager makes this
much easier. Read more in1.3 Tobii Pro Eye Tracker Manager.
Your eye tracker does not need to be connected to the computer to install Eye Tracker Manager.
1. Before starting, double-check the hardware and system requirements, 2 Software and System Requirements
2. Download Eye Tracker Manager from Tobii Pro’s product page .
3. Install Eye Tracker Manager
4. Proceed to the next step.
For more information about setting up your eye tracker and Eye Tracker Manager, visit theTobii Pro Learning Center.
This document assumes the use of Tobii Pro Eye Tracker Manager 2.0 or later.
6.2 Install the eye tracker in Tobii Pro Eye Tracker Manager
Now we need to make sure your computer can talk to your eye tracker. This is necessary for downloading the applicable
drivers and updates.
1. Open Pro Eye Tracker Manager if it is not already running.
2. Connect the Pro Nano’s USB cable to a USB port on your computer. Don’t mount (affix to the computer) the eye
tracker just yet, merely plug in the USB and lay the eye tracker beside the computer until you know everything’s
working.
3. If your Pro Nano is connected to the USB port but doesn’t appear in the list of connected eye trackers, click the plus
(+) symbol in the upper right corner to install (or re-install in some cases) the required drivers. Sometimes restarting
Pro Eye Tracker Manager is necessary.
4. Select Tobii Pro Nano and click the Install button.
5. Follow the prompts in Pro Eye Tracker Manager to finish installation.
6.3 Mount the eye tracker on a laptop or monitor
To ensure quality in eye tracking data, your eye tracker hardware package includes several mounting plates that can be af-
fixed to a laptop or monitor. You can easily snap the eye tracker on and off the screen bezel using the magnetic mounting
plate. The mounting plate sticks to the frame with a special adhesive that doesn’t damage the underlying surface when the
mounting plate is removed. To detach the eye tracker, see 6.6 Detach the eye tracker.
What to do:
1. Check that your eye tracker is detected and displayed as a “card” in Pro Eye Tracker Manager. Expand your eye
tracker’s “card” in Pro Eye Tracker Manager to see that the serial number of your eye tracker matches the number
displayed.
2. You can leave your eye tracker USB connected and beside your computeror you can disconnect it while attaching
the mounting hardware.
3. Important! If you plan to attach the eye tracker to a laptop, make sure the laptop can close with the magnetic
mounting plate attached. Some laptops have very little space when closed and this could damage the screen.
4. Find the center of the screen and clean the bezel.
Tobii Pro Nano Eye Tracker User’s manual v.1.0.5 - en-US 6 Set Up Your Tobii Pro Eye Tracker 9

5. Peel the adhesive tape off the mounting plate and mount it on the bezel. Press the bracket against the bezel for 30
seconds and let it rest for 1 hour before attaching the eye tracker.
6. Attach the eye tracker and make sure that it aligns properly with the mounting plate. The magnet holds the eye
tracker firmly in place when the slots are lined up properly.
7. If not still connected, plug in the eye tracker’s USB cable to the correct USB port in your computer.
8. Move to the next step.
Remove the protection from the adhesive sticker. Put the
mounting plate horizontally below the center of the screen.
Snap the eye tracker to the mounting plate.
6.4 Display setup in Tobii Pro Eye Tracker Manager
Now your computer needs to understand where the eye tracker is in relation to the screen.
1. Open Pro Eye Tracker Manager if it’s not already opened and select your eye tracker.
2. On the Overview tab, locate Display Setup and click the ellipsis button to the right. On the drop-down menu, click
New.
3. Select the display setup you’re using and click the Next button.
4. Follow the instructions in each configuration step.
5. To confirm that the eye tracker can detect your eyes, enable the Position Guide at the bottom left of Pro Eye Tracker
Manager. Once activated, you should be able to see two circles in a face contour.
6. In the next step, you will test your setup by performing a calibration. See 6.5 Calibration
You can always return to Pro Eye Tracker Manager and use it when you change computers or screens or want to
redo a setup.
6.5 Calibration
When you are done configuring your eye tracker, you should run a calibration to test if the eye tracker is mapping the gaze
points correctly to your display.
To test your eye tracking setup:
1. Make sure the eye tracker is attached to the monitor and connected to your computer. Open Pro Eye Tracker Man-
ager. See 1.3 Tobii Pro Eye Tracker Manager.
2. By now you should have also tested your setup as listed in 6.4 Display setup in Tobii Pro Eye Tracker Manager
3. Click the Calibrate button in Pro Eye Tracker Manager and follow the on-screen instructions.
10 6 Set Up Your Tobii Pro Eye Tracker Tobii Pro Nano Eye Tracker User’s manual v.1.0.5 - en-US

4. Evaluate your calibration results. Large systematic errors i.e. a large distance between the average gaze point and
the target gaze point may be indicative of a configuration error. No calibration feedback data on the targets located
on the top of the screen may indicate that there is a mismatch between the screen size and eye tracker configura-
tion. Click the Recalibrate button to improve a calibration. Click the Use Calibration button when you are satisfied
with the your calibration.
6.5.1 What calibration does
The human eye shows a natural individual variation in its shape and geometry. For example, the exact location of the fo-
vea, the area responsible for the part of the visual field that we perceive in focus and full color, varies from individual to indi-
vidual. Tobii Pro Eye Trackers use an individual calibration procedure to optimize their gaze estimation algorithms (i.e. the
3D eye model) and account for this variation. The end result of this optimization is a fully-customized and more accurate
gaze point calculation.
You can do basic calibration in Pro Eye Tracker Manager. There is more functionality, including calibration validation, in To-
bii Pro Lab.
Read more about calibration and performing a calibration and validation in Pro Lab.
6.5.2 Advice for experienced users
A participant can be calibrated with Pro Nano even when only one eye was successfully calibrated. That calibra-
tion gets copied to the “failed” eye as well, and this might cause poor data for that eye.
Tips! Use the Left and Right eyes results in Pro Eye Tracker Manager and Pro Lab to determine whether both
eyes were calibrated successfully. You can also choose to analyze the data only for the eye that successfully
calibrated.
Pro Nano produces only one vector for the calibration results, thereby providing information on the average esti-
mated accuracy, but not on the estimated precision.
6.6 Detach the eye tracker
To temporarily remove the eye tracker, pull it away from the magnetic mounting plate and leave the magnetic plate in
place.
To permanently remove the magnetic mounting plate, you must remove the nonpermanent but strong adhesive that fas-
tens your eye tracker mounting plate to the screen bezel. Since it is fairly strong, you may not be able to take it away with
only your fingers. If you want to remove it, we recommend using something very thin such as dental floss or a thin thread,
a guitar pick, or a credit card. Use this to slide between the mounting plate and the computer bezel (or whatever it is at-
tached to). As you slide it behind the mounting plate, gently bend the mounting plate backwards so that it detaches.
Tobii Pro Nano Eye Tracker User’s manual v.1.0.5 - en-US 6 Set Up Your Tobii Pro Eye Tracker 11

7 Display Setups
7.1 Standard setup
The standard setup for using the Tobii Pro Nano is with a screen of maximum size 19". The eye tracker is attached below
the screen whether it is a laptop screen or separate monitor.
7.2 Tips for setting up the eye tracker display
If the screen bezel is thinner than the width of the eye tracker, affix the mounting plate as low as possible on the screen
frame, or directly on the screen.
• Don’t use this setup if you intend to put stimuli in the lower part of the screen, as the eye tracker might cover them.
• We recommend that you remove the mounting plate before closing the lid of the laptop.
• Use Pro Eye Tracker Manager’s “Display Setup — Advanced” to select a negative value for the height distance be-
tween the top of the eye tracker and the bottom of the display screen. Alternatively, use the tripod accessory and
mount the eye tracker away from the screen.
7.3 Setup with a tripod
Pro Nano mounted on a tripod in front of a wide screen.
If you want to use a wider screen, the hardware is set up in a slightly different manner:
1. Select a suitable location and set up the screen.
2. Set up the projector and connect it to the laptop.
3. Mount the eye tracker on a separate tripod and connect it to the laptop.
4. Use Pro Eye Tracker Manager’s Advanced Setup to ensure that the eye tracker can detect the participant’s eyes.
Select New in the drop-down Display Setup menu and follow the steps.
5. Give your screen configuration a name so that you can recover the settings later. Type it in the Display Setup Name
text box, then click the Save button. Your configuration is now available and selected in the Display setup drop-
down menu.
6. Test the screen configuration by performing a calibration. If you are tracking a physical plane instead of a screen
the calibration must be done in Pro Lab.
For more detailed instructions, read our Learning article Using Pro Eye Tracker Manager to configure the eye tracker.
You must measure and specify all the parameters as accurately as possible to maintain good eye tracking data
quality.
