These pages are for you who are looking to integrate a Tobii eye tracker into your computer or system and/or integrate eye tracking into an application on a computer or system that has an eye tracker.

At the core of the integration is the Tobii Platform Development Kit (PDK). The PDK is the smallest component needed to communicate with Tobii Eye Trackers and gives full control over the installed software stack. All professional eye trackers come with its own PDK that has a small installation footprint, access to additional data streams and other adaptations needed for professional systems.

The PDK allows to use the Tobii Stream Engine API to interface with the eye tracker. The Tobii Stream Engine is at its core a C API, but bindings exist for C++ and C#.

Eye Tracking Data Transparency Policy

This policy applies to solutions that store or transfer Tobii eye tracking data, presence or position data, regardless of the purpose for the storing or transferring. End-users care about their data integrity and privacy. Therefore, as a vendor you must gain end-users’ trust regarding what you do with the end users’s eye tracking data. Being transparent is a good starting point in gaining trust and that is why we created the Tobii Eye Tracking Data Transparency policy.

Tobii’s Software Development License Model
