I can see why disabling the eyetracker would possibly cause problems but enabling it only makes for a nicer user experience. As I stated before: ‘This prevents the user from having to tab out of your application, turn on eye-tracking, and tab back in.’

This prevents the user from having to tab out of your application, turn on eye-tracking, and tab back in. It seems like unnecessary steps for the user to take.

(Turn on the eye tracker in case it isn’t on already). Now I have to prompt users to first turn it on before using the program. Especially when having a full screen application it can be confusing.
The powershell workaround doesn’t really work for me, the eyetracker doesn’t automatically turn on when you re-enable the Tobii Windows Service. So I can shut it down but can’t get it to turn back on programmatically.
As @chrisschaefer said, the rest of the api works very well. It seems like a basic function so I wonder why it isn’t there by default.

Thanks for your thorough research, I really appreciate the fact that Tobii support actually tries to help.
I guess I’ll have to buy a new tablet then, may I ask which tablets are known to work? (For example tablets that are used with testing at Tobii).The only thing I’m curious about is the fact that sometimes it does work, I guess it’s right on the edge of the power limit then?
