Software for key-interactors on monitor area

[Johannes]

Hello tobii community. I am new here and i hope you can help me.

I use my tobii eye tracker 4C especially because I have a physical disability. Especially important for me are keyboard interactors. For this I am currently using the trial version of “Project Iris.” With this software I can see on a monitor area and press various buttons. Also hold or switch is possible.

Unfortunately, “Project Iris” is no longer officially supported. So my question is: are there any official or unofficial alternatives to “Project Iris?” I would especially need the Interactors feature for keyboard-key-areas and possibly the “Eye Blink” feature. Are there any alternatives for that? Maybe over Github or somewhere else.

Hi @onsche, thanks for your query. Although not an exhaustive list, here are a few of the alternative projects that might be of used to use although I am ensure exactly how closely they align with your need for key interactors. Please give me a try and let me know how you get on.

Also, I assume you have already tried the integrated eye tracking in Windows 10?

Best Wishes,

Thank you for the fast answer. At first, yes I know the eye tracking of Windows 10. Unfortunately for me it is more or less useless, because I need eye tracking mainly for gaming. It supports me with my handicap.

The mouse control would be no problem, there are enough tools for this. But I would need a software with hotkey interactors. Like Project Iris, look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0emlROwU28s&t

It’s really harder than imagining finding a second software that can do it, hm!

Hi @onsche, yes, I see the feature you are looking for..I’m afraid I don’t know of any other sofware with this feature… may you could investigate some software that has a generalised floating toolbar (or even docker software) that would launch a custom command upon click (and hence gaze)

Certainly, if you find something please do let us know!

[Johannes]

Has anyone news for tools with key-interactors on monitor area?

Hello Johannes, I have the same problem, Have you found an alternative? We are several looking for a solution but without success. Do you have a Discord or something? To help each other 🙂

[Grant [Tobii]]

I’ll ping @onsche for you Toine, hopefully we can share here any recent discoveries..

[Mauro]

I am also looking for such option, could you please let me know if you have found something? I am also on Discord 🙂

[Mauro]

What do you mean by: “Project Iris” is no longer officially supported? Has it stopped working?

[Grant [Tobii]]

Hi Mauro, probably best that you try and make direct contact with Project IRIS developers directly on this particular issue as Tobii does not own this software, thanks for your understanding. Best Wishes.
