Want to build my Ui eye gaze aware

[Ekta Jha]

Hi I want to build a ui using our own specific ui framework. We want to make it gaze aware.

We already have eye tracker. But we have no idea how to integrate it with our own specific UI. My buttons drop downs every thing should respond when I look at them.

Could you please help me with this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @ektajha90 and thanks for your query. In terms of designing a User Interface that incorporates eye tracking, indeed there are a number of different routes Tobii can offer you depending on the scenario and the existing framework you are using.

To get up and running quickly and get an idea of how to implement eye tracking into .NET, WPF and Console applications, you can check out the Tobii Core SDK:

Here is the landing page @ https://developer.tobii.com/consumer-eye-trackers/core-sdk/getting-started/
and you can download some sample applications @ https://github.com/Tobii/CoreSDK

For a more cross platform approach with a lower footprint and c++ support, you can use the Tobii Stream Engine API: https://developer.tobii.com/consumer-eye-trackers/stream-engine/

If you are interested in more exotic interfaces utilising 3D or VR components, you can have a look at our Unity SDK @ https://developer.tobii.com/tobii-unity-sdk/

Further options are available, but if you could kindly provide more detail with regard to your current UI design, we would be glad to help point you in the right direction. Best Wishes.

Hi @dev,

Thank you so much for your reply. Can I integrate eye tracking i.e. Tobii SDK with Javascript?
Could you please let me know what all languages Tobii SDK supports?

Thanks & Regards,
Ekta Jha

Hi @ektajha90, I am afraid that we do not currently have an official Javascript Bindings for use with the Tobii 4C or EyeX Eye Tracker.

A number of other users have experimented with creating their own bindings online such as @ https://github.com/coylz/TobiiStreamEngineForJava

Please bear in mind these and not official bindings so we cannot support their application, but certainly, we would
welcome your feedback in using these 3rd party tools.

We have several SDK’s that are directly compatible with the Consumer level of eye trackers (EyeX, 4C) which are available for a variety of environments such as Unity, Unreal Engine & Regular Windows which come in C++ and C#. Equally as for the Stream Engine as described above.

Additional bindings such as Python are available but only with the Tobii Pro SDK which requires to purchase a special licence to use.

If you look at our SDK landing page @ https://developer.tobii.com/consumer-eye-trackers/ more details are provided.

Please do Let us know if you have any specific questions.

Pleasure to be of assistance! If during your development, you would care to share the Code publically, that would be most appreciated by the community 🙂

Hi @dev,

Does this supports web application? If yes then what languages and technologies are supported?

Thanks & Regards,

Hi @ektajha90. I am afraid for the time being, we do not have a supported web application API. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Hello! It’s the first time I’m trying to develop a asp.net web aplication and at very first, I’m trying to check the user position in front of the Eye Tracker, and second, permorm the calibration with the Eye Tracking device. Nevertheless, when I type the code, I don’t know how exactly create the User Interface of the check position user and the UI of the calibration. I would like to know if these UIs are within the Tobii Pro SDK or I have to create all of them.

Besides, I’ve got a great doubt related with Eye Tracker and its SDK. Are there any problem using Eye Tracker SDK and integrate it in order to debelop a web aplicacion using asp.net?

I only use the Tobii Pro SDK with Tobii x2-30 Compact and the IDE I use is Visual Studio 2019.

Thank you so much your time.

Regards, Jesús.
