When using and adjusting the angle of the Tobii Pro Mobile Device Stand, be careful so as not to injure the test par- ticipant or yourself as there is a risk of squeezing objects or fingers between moving parts. The scene camera holder and other parts of the product may cause injury if it strikes the head or other body parts.
The mobile device stand supports both Pro X2 and X3 product families, as well as the Pro Nano eye tracker. The package in- cludes a Pro X3-120 Eye Tracker compatibility kit (adapter plate and a 1.8 m long USB 3 cable) for use with a Pro X3–120 eye tracker.
Package Contents 2.3.1 What is Included The package for Pro Mobile Device Stand includes: Mobile device stand main body with table clamp (1 piece) Scene camera holder (with Logitech webcam) (1 piece) Guide bars (2 pieces) Eye tracker extension (1 piece)
Considerations The Pro Mobile Device Stand is designed to make optimal use of the Tobii Pro eye tracker (X2-30, X2-60, X3-120, Pro Nano) in mobile device testing. To ensure superior quality of the collected eye tracking data, please consider the following sections.
Assembly Instructions To meet the needs of different device types, participant height and study objectives, Tobii Pro Mobile Device Stand can be as- sembled to create eight different configurations (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, D1 and D2). Any of these configurations can be opti- mal for a specific testing scenario.
(for setups A/B/C/D-2) and one short- er that positions the scene camera closer to the tested device (for setups A/B/C/D–1). 3 Assembly Instructions Tobii Pro Mobile Device Stand User’s manual v.1.0.8 - en-US...

As the Pro X3–120 eye tracker is wider than the X2 units, it is necessary to either turn the guide bars up- wards, as in the image right above, or to remove them completely, to avoid interfering with the eye tracker’s cameras. 3 Assembly Instructions Tobii Pro Mobile Device Stand User’s manual v.1.0.8 - en-US...
Attaching a mobile device To attach the mobile device (or other tested object) on the Mobile Device Stand, use either adhesive mounting putty (left in pic- ture) or the Nanopad (right in picture). The mounting putty will adapt to different shapes and textures, and stick more firmly while the Nanopad allows easier device mounting and removal.
5. Once the holes are aligned with the rods, push the calibration plate down towards the mobile device until it is resting flat on top. To remove the calibration plate: 1. Carefully lift the calibration plate from its fixed position, before removing it. 3 Assembly Instructions Tobii Pro Mobile Device Stand User’s manual v.1.0.8 - en-US...
Adjusting the Tilt Angle of the Tobii Pro Mobile Device Stand The Mobile Device Stand tilt angle can be adjusted to accommodate for different participant heights, positions and setups. The objective when adjusting the tilt angle is to make sure the participant is in the optimal position for the eye tracker. Each partici- pant’s position should be examined and adjusted using the Track Status feature in Tobii Studio, Pro Lab or Eye Tracker Manag-...

If using a Tobii Pro X3–120 or Tobii Pro Nano eye tracker you must attach the adapter bracket into the eye tracker slot before placing the X3–120 eye tracker into the slot.
Using Eye Tracker Manager to configure the eye tracker The Pro Eye Tracker Manager allows user to configure the eye tracker for different setups, including the Mobile Device Stand, with additional features, such as the possibility of performing a calibration and evaluating the results.
Select the option “Eye Tracker is not attached to the monitor”. A setup wizard appears. Enter the parameters corresponding to your Mobile Device Stand configuration as listed in the table below. If you have altered the position of eye tracker, relative to the display area, to better suit your study design, modify any of the measurements in the table accordingly.
Mobile Device Stand The Pro Mobile Device Stand solution only works with the “Scene Camera” project type in Pro Lab. Its Record module guides you through the procedure of selecting eye tracker and scene camera, performing a scene camera-based calibration, and man- aging your participants and recordings.
You can define or edit already-defined participant variables; see the Tobii Pro Lab user manual, section 6.2.5 Participants and Participant Variables for more information. Enter the recording’s name in the “Recording name” input field in the Recording section. If no name is entered, Pro Lab suggests a one, such as “Recording1.”...
If you already have participant variables defined for this participant, they are displayed, see the Tobii Pro Lab user manual, section 6.2.5.3 Editing an existing participant variable. Enter the name of the first participant variable in the text field and press Enter.
Before you continue, make sure you have installed the latest version of Tobii Pro Studio on the Windows computer you intend to use. The Tobii Pro Mobile Device Stand solution will only work with the stimuli type “Scene camera” in Tobii Pro Studio. Most of the configuration will therefore be done through the Scene Camera Element Setup dialog.

OK to confirm. Now Morgan M-JPEG codec is available in the Video Codec drop down list. Procedure for configuring the Perspective Calibration: Make sure the calibration plate is mounted on the Tobii Pro Mobile Device Stand. In the Scene Camera Element Setup dialog, click New in the Perspective Calibration section. A snapshot of the calibra- tion plate will appear in the Calibration Image window.
Use Microsoft Video 1 codec if you can for the user camera video. Click OK to save the settings and close the dialog. 4 Configuring Eye Trackers from Tobii Pro with the Mobile Device Tobii Pro Mobile Device Stand User’s manual v.1.0.8 - en-US...
Click Track Status in the View menu of Tobii Studio. Adjust the chair and the Mobile Device Stand’s tilt angle so that the participant is positioned optimally for the eye tracker (e.g. the white dots showing the position of the eyes in the track status should be in the center or upper half of the black box, and the distance indicator should indicate a distance of around 60- 65 cm).
