Tobii Eye Tracker 5L

Engineered for innovation

The Tobii Eye Tracker 5L is a USB peripheral engineered for innovation. Designed to be mounted
on any device, screen, or monitor, this eye tracker delivers real-time data streams including gaze
point, eye position, pupil diameter, user presence, and head pose. With two run modes and a
maximum gaze sample rate of 120Hz, the Tobii Eye Tracker 5L is our fastest peripheral yet —
perfect for building professional products and applications.

The Tobii Eye Tracker 5L can deliver eye tracking data for screens up to 27 inches with
a 16:9 aspect ratio. It also runs with larger screen sizes, but with reduced coverage and
less accuracy in the corners.

Standard and fast run modes


The Tobii Eye Tracker 5L can be set to operate in one of two run modes: standard or fast. In the
default standard mode, the eye tracker operates at a gaze sampling frequency of 33Hz and with
zero gaze recovery time (assuming the user is present).

Fast run mode* has been introduced for this eye tracker, allowing it to operate at 120Hz with
a gaze recovery time of 50ms (assuming the user is present). Note that head pose data is not
generated in fast run mode.

The addition of fast run mode* enables the Tobii Eye Tracker 5L to be optimized for high gaze
sampling rate or robust gaze recovery — depending on the needs of the application.

TOBII • EYE TRACKER 5L 2/4


The Tobii Eye Tracker 5L is a USB peripheral designed for use in the development and
commercialization of professional products and applications. It ships with a Platform Development
Kit (PDK) that provides access to the eye tracking software, enabling you to customize processes
such as calibration and configuration.

The PDK includes a platform runtime in the form of a service executable and a client library —
Tobii Stream Engine. To ensure you remain in control, downloading and deploying updates in your
environment is a manual process.

Communication with the eye tracker takes place over the Stream Engine API. The PDK also
includes a configuration application and sample code to simplify initial development.

A note on calibration
i

The anatomy of a person’s eye is unique. To compensate for natural variations, accurate
calculation of gaze point relies on individual user measurements for eyeball, lenses, and cornea
sizes — which is achieved through calibration. If gaze-point accuracy is not relevant to your
application, the calibration process can be skipped.
