EyeX Chrome Extension

[Anthony Fransella]

I found this thread via Tobii email support. I work at the NIH and in my exploration of data manipulation via spatial UIs I came across Tobii. Eventually it seems likely that 2nd wave HMDs will integrate eye tracking (some already are). Manipulating big data sets, displaying complex graphs like those you can generate with d3.js, and moving toward a generally more reactive content experience would all benefit from eye tracking. Development in these areas could begin immediately with js hooks but it seems prohibitive at the moment. It’s a mistake to ignore this segment seeing as how integral eye tracking can be to these broad and high profile applications. Just my thoughts, hope to see the API soon!

Hi, I would like to know current state of development of javascript API.
I want to use gaze position to specify which document object model user is watching on chrome browser.
I know Tobii chrome extension is no longer available. In such case, how should I get coordinates of gaze position on browser?

Hi @shiho, I am afraid that for the time being there is no active alternative to the old Chrome extension with no alternative planned in the near future for public release.

Certainly within the Tobii Pro business department we have available for you dedicated software designed for eye tracking within browsers, but please bear in mind this is only compatible with Tobii Pro range of eye trackers.

May I ask which tracker and SDK you are working with?

Explore the top browsers: Google Chrome for speed and extensions, Mozilla Firefox for privacy and customization, Microsoft Edge for performance and Windows integration, Safari for Apple users with energy efficiency, and Opera for built-in VPN and ad blocking. Which one suits you best?
