Get started with your Tobii Eye Tracker Tripod Bracket – Tobii Help Center

IMPORTANT - Tripod is not included.

Your Tripod Bracket will come prepared with a metal plate attached so that you can put your Tobii Eye Tracker directly on the mounting bracket.

The Tripod Bracket is compatible with all 1/4” threads. You can mount your bracket to any stand, tripod, monopod, etc., with a 1/4” thread. Start with attaching the mounting bracket to a 1/4” thread and tighten it. Make sure it is securely fastened to prevent any accidental detachment.

It’s important to note that different stands and tripods may have slightly different mounting mechanisms, so always refer to the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer when mounting your Tobii Tripod Bracket.

Tobii Eye Tracker includes sensors that can capture your eyes to track where one is looking. Your eyes must fit within a certain distance from the eye tracker, and at least one eye has to be within the trackable area at all times. The operating distance of a Tobii Eye Tracker is 50 — 95 cm (20 - 37").

Head tracking is not dependent on where you are looking on your screen. That means the operating distance does not apply to head tracking.

The Tobii Display Setup Tool needed to calibrate the eye tracker with a custom placement of the mount has a limit of 200 cm from the screen to the Tobii Eye Tracker position.

Tobii Eye Tracker allows for extensive freedom of head movement. Once the eye tracker is properly calibrated and placed in front of you, no further adjustments are required if the eye tracker stays in the same position.

Your Tobii Eye Tracker needs to be level to work properly. You can adjust the pitch of the eye tracker but not tilt it left or right.

The "track box" is a normalized coordinate system for an imaginary "box" in space (in front of the Tobii Eye Tracker), where the edges of the "box" define the area where the Tobii Eye Tracker can theoretically track your eyes.

Please be aware that depending on the placement of your eye tracker, it may struggle to detect your eyes properly from other angles because of potential facial obstructions such as eyelashes, eyebrows, eyelids, etc.

What is Tobii Display Setup Tool (Alpha)?

This is an alpha release. It may contain bugs and cause instabilities in your setup.

We have had many requests, especially from SIM gamers, to enable the use of Tobii Eye Trackers in unconventional display configurations. The Tobii Display Setup Tool (Alpha) allows you the freedom to place an eye tracker in virtually any position and angle and provides the ability to create a solid gaze calibration.

Please note that side-effect of using this tool is that the Tobii Experience application will prompt a warning ”something is not right...” and will require you to redo the display setup and calibration. Don't worry, we are not breaking anything here. Just redo the configuration setup and you will be back to normal.😉
