all the batteries with the supplied battery charger the batteries are fully charged when the display above each battery reads 4.2 volts and three solid bars are shown like this also make sure
to prepare any SD memory cards you will need now to prepare your recording unit we need to insert a fully charged battery into the recording units battery compartment to do this we need to rotate
the battery cover counterclockwise to remove it and then insert the battery
positive end first and finally replace the battery cover and rotate it clockwise to secure it next we need to
install an SD memory card into the recording units memory card slot to do this we need to remove the rubber protector we need to make sure the SD card pins are facing towards the front of the recording unit as shown here then
insert the memory card okay so now that we have an SD card and a charge battery in the recording unit we can begin setting up for a recording to do this we're going to need the glasses to head-unit the provided HDMI
cable the prepared recording unit a nose pad the cable clip the head strap a calibration target a Windows tablet or computer with Tobi glasses control software installed and of course your
participant Simona here has very kindly offered to be my participant for today to make it easier to go through the steps okay we need to set up the head unit first to do this we must pick and attach a nose pad that will enable the
glasses to to sit naturally on your participant there are different sizes in
your carry case if the nose pad you choose does not sit correctly or feels uncomfortable for the participant simply
change it with a different size we need to get the HDMI cable and insert the micro HDMI end into the head unit then
secure the cable in the clip on the arm of your head unit we recommend using the head strap simply tighten it to ensure the glasses - do not move around or drop
during the recording next connect the other end of the HDMI cable from the glasses - into the recording unit and attach the recording unit to the
participant usually on a pocket or belt we provide a cable cord clip which can be clip to clothes in order to stop the wire catching or moving about too much
okay so now we have a participant set up with the glasses - hardware we want to get ready to make a recording please make sure that you have installed the glasses controller software on whichever Windows powered device you're going to
be using to control your glasses - there are two ways of connecting your glasses - to the Toba glasses controller software if you have the live view package you can only connect them via an Ethernet cable to do this please connect

software has to be purchased separately or it is included in the premium and subscription packages of Toby glasses too you will need a valid license key to install the software which you can find
in the product purchase email firstly we need to create a new project choose a name and where you want the project to be saved and click on create remove the
SD memory card from your recording unit and insert it into your PC we now find ourselves at the project dashboard from here we need to click on import glasses
recordings locate your SD memory card and click on the dot TT GP file to import the data next select which recordings you wish to import into the
project by clicking the checkboxes next to the appropriate recordings once the recordings are imported I can show you the basic features of Toby glasses analysis software these include a
snapshot mapping tool a visualization tool an Aoi tool as well as metrics and data exports let's look at a replay of a recording to start with to replay a tobe
glasses to recording with the gaze data overlaid just double-click on the recording in the recordings list in the replay tab click on the play button to replay the video you can use the
timeline and the replay control buttons to navigate in the video in this view you can also log interesting events that occur in the video in this case for example when the person is interacting
with the touch screen recipe Bank choose a name for the event you want to log choose what keyboard shortcut you want to use to log the event and click OK as
you can see it is now in the list of custom events but not in the events list when the interesting event occurs in the recording press the shortcut key to log the event this creates an event in the
events list in this case we would create an event for every time a participant starts interacting with the touch screen recipe Bank next we'll look at the mapping tool open a recording that you have a snapshot for
and would like to map gage data to snapshots are still images of objects of interest and by mapping gage data onto a snapshot image you can later use these to create visualizations and Aoi's or
areas of interest to import a snapshot you can click on snapshots and then the import snapshot button here locate and
select the appropriate snapshot and import it now we need to enable snapshot mapping by clicking here now you can see
your recording and snapshots side by side you need to find the point in time when your participant is looking at the snapshot now to map your data to the
snapshot all you need to do is click on the snapshot image in the same place as the Gaye's data is shown in the video once you have mapped all the data onto a snapshot move on to the visualizations
tool to get the visualizations tool click on the menu button and then click on the visualizations tab on the right hand side I will choose the snapshot we mapped to earlier as you can see by
doing this the software's automatically selected the recording that I mapped to this snapshot on the right hand side we have some options for what type of heat map the radius of the gaze plots the colors used the opacity and the
background you will also see any snapshots that you have used in your project as well as all your recordings listed in the data selection box edit these until you achieve what you're after then right-click on the image to
save your image to a file with your visualization data embedded within after you are finished head back to the project dashboard now we can go into the
Aoi or area of interest tool in this study we are trying to ascertain how much attention the interactive recipe Bank is getting so earlier we mapped the gaze data onto the snapshot every time the participant interactive with the
recipe Bank and now we can set up an area of interest for it there are several drawing tools here so you can create the correct shape for your area of interest the Aoi data will be used in the data
and all metrics export we will look at these next so click back to the project dashboard when you are ready so the appropriate data for your project
the metrics tab looks the same but with a list of different Aoi based metrics to choose from as you can see at the bottom
here is the data field of Aoi hid so if we just export the event time stamp and Aoi here we can see when the participant
looked at the recipe Bank of course you can choose as many of the data fields or metrics as you wish so we've gone through what comes with your Tobi
glasses to package how to set up and make a recording as well as how to install and use the hardware and both the Tobi glasses controller and analysis software's please consult the QuickStart
guide located in your carry case all the user manuals on the USB memory stick for more information for more helpful videos support and information please visit our website thank you for watching this Tobi
