Product Integration - Tobii Developer Zone

Tobii has a collection of SDKs, listed below, that are mainly intended for developers who wish to develop desktop applications that use eye tracking for gaze interaction.

Tobii Concept Validation Tool

Platform Development Kit

Platform Development Kit (PDK) is designed for use in professional products. The PDK is the smallest component needed to communicate with Tobii Eye Trackers and gives full control over the installed software stack. All professional eye trackers come with its own PDK that has a small installation footprint, access to additional data streams and other adaptations needed for professional systems.

Tobii Stream Engine

Stream Engine is the lowest level eye tracking API supplied by Tobii and it is mainly intended for advanced users. Stream Engine provides low-level access to eye position, gaze point data, presence and head pose data streams.

Interaction Library

The Interaction Library is a lightweight library that makes it easy to use gaze for interaction. It also provides robust eye tracker connection management and easy access to standard data streams.

Eye Tracking Data Transparency Policy

This policy applies to solutions that store or transfer Tobii eye tracking data, presence or position data, regardless of the purpose for the storing or transferring. End-users care about their data integrity and privacy. Therefore, as a vendor you must gain end-users’ trust regarding what you do with the end users’s eye tracking data. Being transparent is a good starting point in gaining trust and that is why we created the Tobii Eye Tracking Data Transparency policy.

Tobii’s Software Development License Model

There are three licensing types for developers using Tobii developer software and SDKs: A Getting Started development license, a Commercial development license and a Research development license.
