GazeTk¶

About¶

GazeTk is a framework for gaze-based interaction. It raises eye tracking-based human-computer interaction on the next level, by providing a framework for integrating different eye tracking systems into a coherent framework. It adds to the current state of the art in providing UI components for gaze-based interaction in the WWW.

Components / Sub-projects of GazeTK¶

Desktop-based Gaze Interaction¶

GazeTK Desktop Connector¶

• GIT: https://opensource.cit-ec.de/git/gazetk.git

The GazeTK Desktop Connector project hosts the device specific part for gaze-based interaction on the desktop. Here you will find programs that allow you to use your specific eye-tracking system with GazeTK. Currently we are supporting the following devices:

• The EyeTribe
• MyGaze
• SMI REDm

To come:

• Tobii EyeX (Fall 2015)

You will need one of the desktop connectors to use applications of GazeTK, in particular Blinker.

Blinker¶

• GIT: https://opensource.cit-ec.de/git/gazetk.blinker.git

The Blinker project hosts extensions for web browsers which will allow gaze-based web browsing.

Currently, we are only supporting Mozilla Firefox, but we hope to have a working extension for Chrome within the next months.

BlinkUI¶

BlinkUI is a programming API for the web (JavaScript/HTML), which allows programmers to add gaze-based interaction to their websites.
