ParticipantIs there an API for Linux for Tobii Eye Tracker 5? Something like Stream Engine API?
I’m looking to alleviate my RSI symptoms by using an eye tracker instead of a mouse. I will program a suitable solution as long as an API is available.
Thanks!

KeymasterHi @sjlnk, thanks for your query. I am afraid that for the time being we do not offer a Linux solution for the Tobii Eye Tracker 5.
Apologies for the disappointing news, hopefully you can find a Windows Solution to your needs. Best Wishes.

ParticipantReally bad news! I know Windows is all around us… but don’t you love Linux? Just enough for being not fixed solely on money? It’s for the greater sake of diversity – and more 😉
regards

KeymasterHi Erich, yes sorry about this! For the time being we are focusing the Tobii Tech range of trackers toward gaming and interaction which as you know takes up mostly Windows ecosystem.

ParticipantA lot of us are gaming on Linux you know. Star Citizen, for example, runs perfectly on it and if I was sure it worked I’d get your eye tracker

KeymasterThanks Davide, unfortunately the Linux ecosystem is extremely diverse and for the time being we are not focusing our resources on supporting the Platform as within Gaming, Windows Still dominates substantially, our apologies.
