We recommend you don’t installing any antivirus software on your tablet/computer as these may block communica- tion between your tablet and the Tobii Glasses 2 Eye Tracker. For best performance also avoid installing any applica- tion that relies on constant Internet access such as Skype, Spotify or other similar communication or media software.
Please note that new versions of the Tobii Glasses Recording Unit firmware (version 1.93 Nasselsoppa or higher) are not compatible with, and cannot be analyzed in, older versions of Tobii Pro Lab. If you want to analyze the recordings made with the newest firmware in Tobii Pro Lab, make sure that the latest version of Tobii Pro Lab is installed.

Changing the lenses on the Head Unit Glasses 2 comes with two different protective lenses, one clear and one tinted. The tinted lens is intended to be used in bright or sunny environments, while the clear lens is intended for general use. Glasses 2 will function even though no lens is attached to the Head Unit.
Participants can be added to a study in two different ways — either as a part of creating a recording (see section 7.5 Recording with Tobii Glasses 2, page 32), or through the Participants List (see below). If participants' names or identification codes are known beforehand, entering this information into the Tobii Glasses Controller Software in advance of data collection may simpli- fy the participant set up process in the field.
Recording Unit For Tobii Glasses Controller Software to be able to send or receive information to/from Tobii Glasses 2, the Recording Unit and the tablet/computer running Tobii Glasses Controller Software must be connected to each other. The connection can either be established over WLAN (wireless) or with an Ethernet cable.
On occasions, it might be necessary to change the recording unit’s WLAN settings. For example if you want to connect to an existing WLAN to be able to follow the participant over greater distances using Live View. Tobii Pro Glasses 2 User manual v.1.20.2 - en-US 7 Basic Operations with Tobii Glasses 2...
Make the necessary connection and then follow the procedure below: Tap the Settings icon on the Tobii Pro Glasses card in the controller software (the gear symbol down to the left side). The WLAN settings window shows. Here you have the option to turn the wireless function of the recording unit ON/ OFF.
How to use the Track Status (Adjustments) tool: The Track Status or Adjustments tool is designed as a guide to help you position the Tobii Glasses 2 on a participant correctly. Below is a table of the most common scenarios, what they mean and possible solutions to any problems.

Tobii Glasses 2 data structure Data from a Tobii Glasses 2 recording is contained in “studies”. Each study contains general study details, participant data and recording data. Since both Tobii Glasses Controller Software and the Recording Unit can generate and store data in a given study, data is automatically synchronized between the two units whenever there is a connection between them.
Participants cannot be edited or removed from the Participants List. If, for any reason a faulty participant is added to the Partici- pants List, ignore this participant and add a new Participant with the correct data.

Advanced Usage with Multiple Units In most research scenarios one tablet/computer connects to one Tobii Glasses 2 Recording Unit. There are scenarios where one would like to connect one tablet to multiple Recording Units, or multiple tablets to one or more Recording Units.
Tobii Glasses 2 Accessories The Tobii Glasses 2 comes with some accessories that will compliment and improve the ease of use of the Glasses 2 solution such as an Ethernet cable, battery charger, USB charger for the Recording Unit, etc. See the illustration and the table below for information on the included accessories.

Finding the correct correction values If the participant is wearing ordinary glasses, explain for him/her that the Tobii Pro Glasses 2 head unit, as it is not possible to wear over normal glasses, can be equipped with correction lenses to make it possible for him/her to participate in the study. As Prescription Lenses only contain correction lenses for either short-sightedness or long-sightedness, not bi-focal or progressive lenses, you can not correct both impairments at once.

Be careful to always replace the lenses into the correct slot in the carrying case to avoid mixing them up. Now the participant should have a working sight correction and you are ready to proceed with the study. Tobii Pro Glasses 2 User manual v.1.20.2 - en-US Appendix B Prescription Lenses...
