Tobii’s configuration software lets you see where Tobii thinks your eyes are looking: the pink dots near the center of the screen.ĭon’t feel like you need to sit like a statue to use the eyeX, either the sensor bar will track your eyes as you move around. All of this information is saved to a profile file on your computer. (You have the option of letting the eyeX track either eye, or both, to compensate for amblyopia or other conditions.) Tobii will also show you where it thinks your eyes are looking as part of this configuration process, giving you the first clue of how accurate the Tobii eyeX is. Once mounted, the Windows 10-compatible software checks for any firmware updates, then guides you through a brief setup process where you’re asked to gaze at several dots in the corners of the screen. It connects to your PC via a USB 3.0 cable that supplies power. Once installed, the eyeX magnetically clicks on to the mount, watching you with its three infrared eyes.
Bonding the metal strip to a desktop monitor shouldn’t affect it (unless it covers up the monitor’s controls), but I definitely wouldn’t recommend mounting the eyeX to a Surface or a laptop, where the sensor would likely block display area. Fortunately, Tobii’s installation software includes an on-screen guide that helps ensure the mount is positioned properly, on widescreen monitors sized up to 27 inches. The backing needs to be strong enough to securely hold the 0.2-pound sensor bar, and Tobii says that, once installed, the mount will be “permanently” bonded. That’s the first catch: On the back of the mount is an adhesive strip-more like super glue than tape, unfortunately. The Tobii eyeX mount blends into your monitor, but it’s also pretty much stuck there for good. (If you use a USB mouse and keyboard, make sure you have enough available ports.) There’s also a small metallic mount, which the sensor bar “grabs” magnetically. The eyeX is a 0.8 x 0.6 x 12.5-inch sensor bar, which connects to your computer via a short USB 3.0 cable. Setting up the eyeX is relatively intuitive.
