Flexibility of eye tracking study designs

Tobii X1 Light Eye Tracker allows for both screen and real-world test scenarios. For screen-based research, use it together with a laptop, an external monitor or all-in-one PC. It can be mounted below most screens (highly accurate results are achieved for stimuli presentation on screens up to 21", depending on mounting solution). This gives you the freedom to present your stimuli on a screen that best meets the specific needs of the study at hand.

The eye tracking system can also be used to study real-world interfaces. Its small size allows for eye tracking studies of in-field devices that might not offer the space to fit a conventional full-sized remote eye tracker like an ATM, a ticket machine or control panel.

Flexibility of software

Tobii X1 Light Eye Tracker enables you to work with Tobii Studio, the leading eye tracking analysis and visualization software. Tobii Plug-in for Morae allows users of the system to integrate eye tracking with Morae, the premier user experience software.

If you want to develop your own applications, the Tobii Software Development Kit (Tobii SDK) is available as a free download. 

Ease of use and automatic eye tracking

Supplied solutions for mounting the eye tracker, along with step-by-step configuration guides, ensure user-friendly setup and configuration procedures. Quickly install the eye tracker software, mount the eye tracker and complete the configuration guide. In minutes, you are ready to perform your eye tracking study. You only need to plug in a power cable and a USB cable.

  • Supplied mounting brackets for laptops, PC monitors and real-world interfaces.
  • Fully automatic eye tracking.
  • Rapid and automatic eye tracking calibration procedure.
  • Runs on most Windows desktop or laptop computers (Windows XP and later).

The simple setup, configuration and automation means you can efficiently perform eye tracking studies in the field where you have easy access to participants.

Freedom of movement, unobtrusive eye tracking

  • The Tobii X1 Light Eye Tracker has a large head movement tolerance, as do all Tobii eye trackers. Participants can move freely and naturally, whether in front of a laptop, PC monitor or real-world interface.
  • Its small size and only two cables allow unobtrusive eye tracking studies of real-world interfaces that offer little space to fit a full-sized eye tracker.
  • Stable and reliable eye tracking calibrations eliminate the need for recalibration during long sessions and can be reused for repeat sessions with the same participant.

The unobtrusive eye tracking technology creates a distraction-free test environment, ensuring natural participant behavior and valid research results.

Accurate and reliable eye tracking

The eye tracking system captures data at approximately 30 Hz. It delivers the same high data accuracy and participant tracking capability as other Tobii eye trackers.

  • Highly accurate gaze-position data in real-life conditions like when participants move relative to the eye tracker or under varying light conditions.
  • Robust eye tracking capability ensures very low data loss in real-life conditions.
  • Dual camera system with automatic selection of bright or dark pupil eye tracking accommodates for large variations in experimental conditions and ethnicity.
  • Tracking of both eyes.

Accurate data produces highly reliable research results. Robust eye tracking capability ensures very low participant data loss and allows you to work with a wide cross-section of the population.
