22 System Requirements Tobii Pro Glasses 3 User’s manual v.1.0 - en-US
3 Safety
3.1 General precautions
The Pro Glasses 3 system is described in the Pro Glasses 3 User’s Manual and must be used according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. Connecting any other component to the system, or using the components improperly
can cause injury to the user or damage to the equipment and is done so entirely at the user’s own risk.
The Pro Glasses 3 system must be fitted on the test participant according to instructions in the Pro Glasses 3
User’s Manual. Tobii Pro or its agents are not liable for damage or injuries to a person or their property due to a
Pro Glasses 3 eye tracker system in any configuration being dropped. Fitting the Pro Glasses 3 onto a test partic-
ipant is done entirely at the user’s own risk.
The Pro Glasses 3 system is to be used for research purposes only. Be aware that due to the low, but possible
risk of failure or distraction, the Pro Glasses 3 should not be relied upon or used in dangerous or otherwise critical
situations.
Tobii Pro Glasses 3 head unit is equipped with a head strap to enable tighter mounting of the eye tracker onto the
wearer’s head. Neither Tobii Pro nor its agents are liable for damages or injuries to a person or their property
caused by the Pro Glasses 3 head unit head strap.
3.2 Usage warning
The Pro Glasses 3 system is composed of several components as described in the User’s Manual and should be
used according to manufacturer instructions. Connecting, or by other means using any other component than ad-
vised in the User’s Manual may damage or injure a person, their property or recorded data, and is done entirely
at the user’s own risk.
Pro Glasses 3 eye tracker should be fitted on the test participant according to manufacturer instructions. Tobii
Pro or its agents are not liable for damage or injuries to a person or their property due to a Pro Glasses 3 eye
tracker being dropped in any configuration. Fitting the Pro Glasses 3 onto a test participant is done entirely at the
user’s own risk.
Pro Glasses 3 head unit is equipped with a head strap to enable tighter mounting of the eye tracker onto the
wearer’s head. Neither Tobii Pro nor its agents are liable for damages or injuries to a person or their property
caused by the Pro Glasses 3 head unit head strap.
3.3 Emergency
The Pro Glasses 3 system is to be used for research purposes only. Be aware that due to the low, but possible
risk of failure or distraction, the Pro Glasses 3 should not be relied upon or used in dangerous or otherwise critical
situations.
3.4 Child warning
The Pro Glasses 3 is an advanced computer system and electronic device that is composed of numerous sepa-
rate, assembled parts. These parts have the possibility of becoming separated from the device, constituting a po-
tential choking hazard or other danger to a child. Young children should not have access to, or use, the device
without parental or guardian supervision.
Tobii Pro Glasses 3 User’s manual v.1.0 - en-US 3 Safety 3
3.5 Infrared warning
Do not use the Pro Glasses 3 system when in the vicinity of devices that are susceptible to Infrared (IR) light.
When activated, the Pro Glasses 3 head unit emits IR light, which can affect certain medical devices and other
devices that are susceptible to disturbance by IR light and/or radiation.
3.6 Photosensitivity/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 peo-
ple may have a seizure while watching certain images or patterns 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 experience an "aura" or feel odd sensations before the seiz-
ure occurs. If the participant starts to feel odd during use, have them remove the Pro Glasses 3 head unit
immediately.
3.7 Mechanical shock
The Pro Glasses 3 system is a delicate measuring instrument used for research purposes and should be treated
with care at all times. To avoid breaking or damaging the internal electronic circuits, do not drop, knock, or shake
the device. Eye-tracking quality or accuracy can be seriously affected if the Pro Glasses 3 head unit or recording
unit are dropped. If the eye tracker is exposed to mechanical shock, for example, when dropped, do not try to
start it or connect it to a power source. Contact Tobii Pro Support for instructions.
3.8 Bending
To avoid breaking or damaging the internal electronic circuits, do not bend any part of the eye-tracking system.
Eye-tracking quality or accuracy can be seriously affected if the Pro Glasses 3 head unit or recording unit has
been bent.
3.9 Do not open or disassemble
Do not open or disassemble the Pro Glasses 3 head unit or the recording unit. Non-compliance will result in loss
of warranty! There are no user serviceable components inside. Contact Tobii Pro Technical Support if your Pro
Glasses 3 system is not working properly.
3.10 Connectors
The Pro Glasses 3 head unit and recording unit have numerous external interfaces (connectors). Connecting
any other device or connector than those intended may cause personal injuries and/or damage the Pro Glasses
3. Tobii Pro or its agents are not liable for any damages or injuries to a person or their property due to connecting
unintended connectors.
3.11 Head unit cable
The head unit cable connected to the head unit must only be used to connect to the recording unit. Do not use
the head unit cable for any other purpose or for connecting to any other devices. Tobii Pro or its agents are not li-
able for any damages or injuries to a person or property due to incorrect use of the head unit cable.
43 Safety Tobii Pro Glasses 3 User’s manual v.1.0 - en-US
3.12 Environment
Avoid any exposure to direct sunlight as this will affect eye tracking quality and longer exposure can overheat the
equipment. Avoid prolonged exposure to any liquids, gels, moist, rain, or sweat. Do not use the eye tracker
underwater.
Do not place or use the equipment in places subject to extreme temperatures and humidity, such as on top of
and or near a heating element, in a hot or damp room, or in a hot automobile in the sun. Usage temperature: 5℃
to +45℃/ 23℉to 113℉
3.13 Safety and usage
The Tobii Pro Glasses 3 head unit is designed to connect only to the Tobii Pro Glasses 3 recording unit and
should not be connected to any other device.
The recording unit is designed to connect only to the head unit and a device running Windows 10 or later operat-
ing system, or an Android device with version 9 or later, and with the Glasses 3 controller application installed.
The recording unit should not be connected to any other devices.
3.14 Wireless warning
The recording unit contains radio transmitters and receivers (WLAN). Make sure that it is placed as far as possi-
ble from any equipment, objects or body parts sensitive to such signals.
電波法により5GHz帯は屋内使用に限ります。
3.15 Transportation
Always use the supplied carry case and packaging material to transport the eye-tracking equipment and provide
added protection.
3.16 Accessories
Only use accessories provided by or approved by Tobii Pro.
3.17 Cleaning
Before cleaning any part of the Pro Glasses 3 system, disconnect all cables and make sure the device is turned
off. Both the Pro Glasses 3 head unit, recording unit, and Corrective Lenses have surface coatings that require
special care. Only use the supplied microfiber cleaning cloth or similar products specially intended for cleaning
screens or glass with a special coating. Avoid touching, scratching, or smudging the lenses on the Pro Glasses 3
head unit or the Corrective Lenses and keep all the surfaces clean. Eye-tracking quality may be degraded if sur-
faces are dusty or damaged. Some plastic parts, such as the sidepieces and the nose pads, can be cleaned with
water or disinfectant applied on a piece of soft cloth. Take special care to ensure that there are not smudges or
scratches covering either the illuminators or sensors in the lenses.
