Eye-tracking runtime software for Linux

[bm2023]

Hello,

My OS: Ubuntu 22.04
HMD hardware: HTC Vive Pro Eye
HMD runtime: SteamVR

While I was working on OpenXR project, on Windows 10 OS, the run-time software to access eye-tracking was SRanipal.

However, in my best knowledge, SRanipal does not support Ubuntu.

So, how I can assess the eye-tracking on Ubuntu? Is there any run-time software from Tobii on Linux as an alternative of SRanipal?

Hi @bipul-mohanto, apologies but all of Tobii VR offerings are currently Windows Only.

Okay, can you name any alternative for Linux? I read about Monado, but do not think they have run-time software support for eye-tracking.

Hi @bipul-mohanto, VR within Linux is still largely in it’s infancy so we would recommend you focus on Windows for the time being. However, I understand that the ‘Valve Index’ support linux, but this model is not currently supported by Tobii.
