Tobii eye tracking, from the lab to the real world.
Tobii has built research eye trackers since 2001, and its systems appear in more than 15,000 scientific publications. We specify, install, train and support every Tobii system we sell, from a single Spark to a multi-station lab.
Consort XPR is the sole Tobii reseller for the Middle East, across the GCC and the Levant.

Where does the behaviour happen? That decides the hardware.
Every Tobii system records the same thing: where people look, for how long and in what order. The difference is where your participants are.
Screen-based
At a screen
Websites, apps, advertising, reading and psychology experiments. The tracker sits under the monitor and the participant sits naturally, head free.
Wearable
In the real world
Shelves, cockpits, vehicles, sport, surgery and the shop floor. The glasses record a scene video with gaze overlaid.
Webcam
No dedicated hardware
Tobii Webcam Eye Tracking, powered by Tobii Nexus, estimates gaze from a standard webcam inside Tobii Pro Lab: on-site at your own workstations, or online with participants’ own computers.
02 · Eye trackers
Five eye trackers and a webcam option, line by line.
Specifications are Tobii’s own, in optimal conditions. We will tell you which one your question needs, and which one it does not.

Webcam or dedicated tracker? In a study at Uppsala University, Tobii Nexus achieved 1.64° median accuracy and 0.85° precision in the lab, against the 3 to 5° commonly reported for webcam systems. Use webcam eye tracking for scale, reach and AOI-level insight. Choose a Tobii screen-based tracker when you need small AOIs, higher sampling, pupillometry or advanced eye-movement measures.

Running an older Tobii? Tobii has replaced Pro Nano and X2-30 with Spark, TX300 with Spectrum, X3-120 with Fusion, and Pro Glasses 2 with Pro Glasses 3. Pro Lab compatibility with those older trackers is no longer guaranteed from version 25.7. Tobii runs an upgrade programme for existing owners: ask us what it means for your lab.
06 · Questions
Before you specify.
Which Tobii eye tracker is right for me?
Start with where your participants are. At a screen, Spark suits most UX and teaching labs, Fusion adds portability and higher sampling for infants and children, and Spectrum is for psychophysics, reading and timing-critical work. In the real world, Pro Glasses 3 suits research that needs raw data; Glasses X suits training and workplace studies where speed of set-up matters most.
Can I get raw data from Tobii Glasses X?
Glasses Explore, which ships with Glasses X, gives visual insights rather than raw data. If you need raw gaze data, add Tobii Pro Lab, or choose Pro Glasses 3.
Can I run eye tracking with just a webcam?
Yes. Tobii Webcam Eye Tracking runs inside Tobii Pro Lab, on-site at your own workstations or online with participants’ own computers. It suits AOI-level studies at scale; for fine precision, pupillometry or high sampling rates, choose a Tobii screen-based tracker.
Is Tobii Pro Lab a subscription?
You can choose. Tobii sells Pro Lab as a perpetual licence or a yearly subscription, in Full, Analyzer, Screen-based and Distributed Online editions.
Can Tobii record EEG and GSR at the same time?
Yes. Pro Lab records Shimmer3R GSR natively. EEG, ECG and fNIRS are recorded in partner software, such as Bitbrain, and merged with the eye-tracking data in Pro Lab.
Who sells and supports Tobii in the Middle East?
Consort XPR is the sole Tobii reseller for the Middle East, covering the GCC and the Levant. We supply, install, train and support from Dubai, with same-working-day support.
