Tobii Glasses Explore — Glasses recordings analyzed in the cloud

Software for viewing, tagging and comparing recordings from Tobii Glasses X — video from the perspective of a person at work, with the point they are looking at overlaid. For training and quality departments and teams studying work in real environments.

The glasses record, Explore shows

Tobii Glasses X are glasses with a camera and eye tracking sensors. They record video from the wearer's perspective and log which point of that image the person is looking at. Glasses Explore is cloud software in which you view, tag and compare these recordings — without installing specialized analysis software.

01Record at the workplace

The participant puts on the glasses and performs a normal task — at the assembly line, in a car, on the court. No calibration is needed, so recording can start right away.

02Review, tag, share

The recording goes from the app to the Glasses Explore cloud. There you watch it live or later, tag important moments, compare people and share findings with your team.

How the glasses know where you look

Sensors facing the eyes are built into the frame — one for each eye.

Pupil and reflection

The algorithm finds the center of the pupil and the light reflection on the cornea. Their relative position determines the gaze direction.

3D eye model

A three-dimensional model compensates for the glasses slipping on the nose, which is why they do not need calibration.

120 times per second

This is how many times per second the glasses determine the gaze point and map it onto the scene camera image.

Recording from the participant's perspective

You see what the driver saw

This is a frame of a Glasses X recording: the image from the camera in the glasses with gaze overlaid on it. Click the points to see how to read them.

1Gaze point

The large circle is where the driver is looking in this frame — the car driving ahead.

2Gaze trail

The smaller dots are earlier locations, and the lines show the order: mirror, sign, gauges, navigation. You can see how the driver checked the surroundings.

3Moment to tag

A glance at the navigation screen can be marked with a tag on the timeline and compared with other drives.

4Scene camera

The wide frame covers most of the field of view: 118° horizontally and 67° vertically. The image is stabilized, so the recording stays watchable despite head movements.

From recording to team insights

Explore guides you through the entire work with a recording: from live view, through tagging and comparing, to sharing the results. It presents results visually — raw data and advanced metrics come with Tobii Pro Lab (comparison below).

Glasses Explore live view: video from the glasses of a worker tightening an engine component
01 · Live

You look along with the worker

Remote live view shows the image from the glasses camera and the gaze point in real time. You observe from anywhere and can guide the person through the next steps of the procedure.

02 · Playback

Slow motion reveals what slips by

You play the recording more slowly, e.g. at 0.25×, with the gaze and fixation trail — the places where the eyes briefly stopped.

  • timeline zoom: when and where attention shifts
  • recordings named and organized according to your procedure
Glasses Explore: recording timeline with tags for steps, sub-steps and observations
03 · Tags

You mark important moments with tags

A tag is a marker on the timeline: a procedure step, a check, an observation. Attributes give it context, and Explore calculates metrics from the tagged segments.

  • tag library and categories — the same labels across all recordings in a project
  • this makes results from different people reliably comparable

04 · Comparison

Two performances side by side

You play two recordings at the same time — e.g. an experienced worker and a trainee. You can see what each of them looked at and where they paused.

  • you choose what to display: metrics, gaze trails or the task timeline
  • comparison with a reference recording
Glasses Explore: metrics table for two recordings — order, number of completed steps, score and total time
05 · Metrics

Numbers instead of impressions

Target metrics put into numbers what you see in the recording — in the screenshot: step order, number of steps completed, score and total time. They are calculated the same way for every recording compared.

Glasses Explore: insight sharing window with a clip from the recording and a Share button
06 · Sharing

Insights reach the team

You create clips from the recording and publish them on a results page. Colleagues and managers watch the exact moment, not a description from memory.

Choosing the software

Is Explore enough, or do you need Pro Lab?

You analyze Glasses X recordings in Glasses Explore or in Tobii Pro Lab. Explore answers the question “what happened and how to improve it”. Pro Lab — when you need numbers for publication or your own statistics.

Why Glasses Explore with Interlab

Glasses and software from one manufacturer

Eye tracking glasses are often bought together with an analysis platform from another company, billed in modules. Glasses X and Glasses Explore were developed together: the recording goes from the app directly to the Explore cloud, and a starter license is included in the kit.

Frequently asked questions

How does Glasses Explore differ from Tobii Pro Lab?

Explore is for quick insights: you watch recordings (also live), mark moments with tags, compare two recordings side by side and share clips with your team. It does not provide raw data. Tobii Pro Lab is software for scientific analysis: areas of interest (AOI), heat maps, behavior coding and raw data export.

Does Explore work with Tobii Pro Glasses 3?

No. Glasses Explore works only with Tobii Glasses X. Pro Glasses 3 recordings are analyzed in Tobii Pro Lab.

Do the glasses need calibration?

No. Glasses X determine gaze without calibration, and the 3D eye model compensates for the glasses slipping. The manufacturer specifies an accuracy of 1.5–2.5°. If your study requires higher accuracy, see Tobii Pro Glasses 3 with one-point calibration.

Can I export raw data?

Not in Glasses Explore — it presents results visually. Raw data and researcher-configured metrics are provided by Tobii Pro Lab, which supports Glasses X recordings. We will help you choose the license.

What happens after the one-year Explore license?

The Glasses X kit includes a one-year Glasses Explore license for up to three glasses. We will confirm the renewal terms in our quote — ask us.

How are recordings protected in the cloud?

According to the manufacturer, data is stored encrypted with AES-256 and transmitted over TLS 1.2 or later; keys are managed by AWS Key Management Service. Sign-in is handled by Auth0 with role-based access, and the data centers have backups. We will forward questions about data location and your organization's requirements to Tobii.

Can people who wear prescription glasses use them?

Yes — Glasses X accept corrective lenses from −6 to +3 diopters.

Can I connect Glasses X to EEG or GSR?

Glasses X have no external TTL input; the manufacturer describes multimodal integration as basic sensor data recording. For research with EEG, physiology and motion capture, Tobii offers Tobii Pro Glasses 3.
