Dikablis D-Lab review
A mature hardware-led suite for live synchronized studies, with Windows-only access.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Dikablis D-Lab is desktop recording and analysis software supplied with Ergoneers Dikablis eye-tracking systems. It is built for research teams and professional usability, automotive, simulator, and human-factors laboratories conducting hardware-based eye-tracking studies. The workflow covers study, subject, task, and event management, then combines synchronized eye-tracking and other data streams with live eye-tracking and video views during recording. Automatic pupil detection and eye-tracking processing support analysis after capture.
Its strongest fit is live, synchronized research. D-Lab connects with Dikablis eye trackers, Tobii Glasses 2, Tobii Pro Nano, Tobii Pro Fusion, Tobii Pro Spectrum, Workload RT, and Xsens MVN. During analysis, teams can define areas of interest and examine glances, fixations, saccades, and time to first fixation. Playback and reporting include heat maps, shadow maps, gaze paths, and bee-swarm visualizations, while CSV and study-data export support further analysis and archiving. This breadth makes it suitable when eye tracking needs to be interpreted alongside other recorded signals rather than reviewed as an isolated gaze stream.
The trade-off is a focused, hardware-dependent setup. D-Lab runs on Windows, with Microsoft Surface tablet support specified for D-Lab Mini, so teams on other desktop platforms should look elsewhere. The software is supplied and licensed with Dikablis systems, and pricing is handled through sales rather than a self-serve plan structure. That model suits laboratories choosing an integrated hardware-and-software workflow, but it is less convenient for teams seeking a standalone tool, transparent online pricing, or broad platform flexibility. Choose D-Lab for synchronized studies with supported hardware; consider an alternative for browser-based, cross-platform, or purely software-led eye-tracking work.
