Main Steps

1. Prepare The Observer XT (page 17) to make sure that the data collected can be started and stopped with The Observer XT.
2. Record data with Tobii Pro Lab (page 20) or Tobii Pro Studio (page 23).
3. Export eye tracking data like fixations and saccades from Tobii Pro Lab (page 26) or Tobii Pro Studio (page 27).
4. Import Tobii Pro data in The Observer XT (page 29).
5. Import the Gaze replay video in The Observer XT (page 36).
6. Optionally, export Area of Interest data (AOI) from Tobii Pro Lab (page 37) or Tobii Pro Studio (page 38). Next, use the Noldus Tobii Studio File Converter 3.0 to make the data files compatible with The Observer XT (page 39) and import those files into The Observer XT (page 43).

Important Terms

You define a project both in The Observer XT and the Tobii Pro software, however this term represents different things in the two programs. In Tobii Pro Lab, a project can contain one or more recordings. In Tobii Pro Studio, a project can contain different tests, each of them containing one or more recordings. In The Observer XT, a project contains observations, which are the equivalent of the recordings in the Tobii Pro software. However, you can import data from one test/study, or multiple tests/ studies into one project of The Observer XT.
