1 Introduction
Tobii Pro Fusion is a compact, high performance data collection solution that you can take into the field. Use Pro Fusion
when your research takes you to locations and to subjects that would otherwise be hard to bring to the lab. You can collect
data in schools, hospitals, libraries, and other locations where your subjects are easier to recruit.
With sampling frequencies of up to 250 Hz, two eye tracking cameras, and two pupil tracking modes (bright and dark pupil),
Pro Fusion enables you to adapt your data collection setup to different research populations, scenarios, and data
requirements.
Use Pro Fusion for studies on:
• Windows laptop and desktop computers
• PC monitors, 24″ (16:9) or less as optimum size
• Real-world setups such as physical objects and social interactions (using the Tripod Stand)
• Projections, simulators, and larger screens (using the Tripod Stand)
Tobii Pro Fusion is primarily designed for use in indoor office environments with adult participants.
1.1 Symbols used in this document
In this manual we use symbols for three levels of information:
The Note symbol is used for notifying the user of something important or of something that needs special
attention.
The Caution symbol is used to inform of something that could cause harm to, or malfunction of, the equipment.
The Warning symbol is used to inform of something in which there is a conceivable risk of harm to the user if the
Warning is ignored.
1.2 Tobii Pro Eye Tracker Manager
Pro Eye Tracker Manager is free software available on the Tobii Pro Products webpage.
It helps you manage your screen-based eye tracker. It lets you see which eye tracker firmware and software versions you
are running and also facilitates updates where applicable. It provides:
• Drivers and Firmware installation or updates
• Display setup
• Positioning guide
• User calibration
• Gaze visualization*
You can read more about Pro Eye Tracker Manager specifications and how it works with Tobii Pro eye trackers
on the Tobii Pro Eye Tracker Manager Product page.
References in the manual to Tobii Pro Eye Tracker Manager refer to the latest version available on Tobii Pro’s
website.
*Gaze visualization in Pro Eye Tracker Manager lets you quickly evaluate the quality of the eye tracking data.
The Gaze visualization overlaps data only on the Pro Eye Tracker Manager screen while Eye Tracker Manager
is open.

2.2 Additional Tobii Pro software
Pro Lab
tobiipro.com/product-listing/tobii-pro-lab/
Pro Lab is a comprehensive research software platform for
eye tracking designed to meet the highest demands on dif-
ferent research scenarios with exact timing accuracy. This
software offers an efficient workflow, making it easy to de-
sign experiments, record data, analyze and visualize eye
tracking data, and to sync this data with other biometric da-
ta streams.
Pro SDK
tobiipro.com/product-listing/tobii-pro-sdk/
Pro SDK offers a broad set of tools that makes it simple to
develop a variety of niche applications or scripts across
multiple platforms, using a wide range of programming lan-
guages. This SDK gives the researcher access to the full
set of relevant gaze data streams, such as 3D eye coordi-
nates, raw data, pupil data, etc.
Third-party software This term refers to any application built on Pro SDK.

3 Safety
3.1 Mounting warning
Pro Fusion should be mounted according to Tobii Pro´s instructions for approved mounts.
The mounting bracket 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 bracket. Do not mount the Pro Fusion on monitors posi-
tioned above the head or face of a user, as it might fall.
3.2 Emergency warning
Pro Fusion is to be used for research purposes only. Be aware that due to the low, but possible risk of failure or
distraction, Pro Fusion should not be relied upon or used in dangerous or otherwise critical situations.
3.3 Epilepsy warning
Some people with photosensitive epilepsy are susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when
exposed to certain flashing lights or light patterns in everyday life. This may happen even if the person has no
medical 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.
3.4 Infrared warning
When activated, Pro Fusion emits pulsed infrared (IR) light. Certain medical devices are susceptible to disturb-
ance by IR light and/or radiation. Do not use Pro Fusion when in the vicinity of such susceptible medical devices,
as their accuracy or proper functionality could be inhibited. Do not stare into the LED lights at a close distance
(<15cm).
3.5 Magnetic field warning
Pro Fusion contains magnets. Magnetic fields may interfere with the function of cardiac pacemakers and implant-
able cardioverter defibrillators. As a general rule, maintain a minimum distance of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be-
tween any item with magnets and your heart device.
3.6 Child safety
Pro Fusion is an advanced computer system and electronic device. As such, it is composed of numerous sepa-
rate, 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 Fusion Eye Tracker User’s manual v.1.9 - en-US 3 Safety 3

3.7 Electricity
Do not open the casing of the Pro Fusion device, since you may be exposed to potentially hazardous electrical
voltage. The device contains no user-serviceable parts. Noncompliance will result in loss of warranty! Contact To-
bii Pro Support if your Pro Fusion is not working properly.
3.8 Accessories
Only use accessories provided by or approved by Tobii Pro AB.
3.9 Third party
Any use of Pro Fusion outside the intended use and together with any third-party software or hardware that
changes the intended use is a risk, and this is not a scenario for which Tobii Pro AB can take any responsibility.
3.10 Power supply
Only use the AC power adapter provided by Tobii Pro to power your Pro Fusion. If the AC power adapter is dam-
aged, it should be replaced only by Service Personnel. If damaged, do not use the AC power adapter until it has
been replaced. Tobii Pro and its agents are not liable for any damages or injuries to a person or property due to
wrong use of the provided accessories.
