I'm looking for an open-source software package to capture and analyze the images obtained through an infra-red 30 hz (fMRI compatible) eye-tracker. Can anyone provide some suggestions?
Open source eye tracking hardware and software platform that started as a thesis project at MIT. Pupil is a project in active, community driven development. The hardware is accessible, hackable, and affordable. The software is open source and written in Python and C when speed is an issue.
Thank you for all the suggestions. So far it turns out that Pygaze is only functional with eyelink or MSI eye trackers (and not my Resonance Technology one).
I'm currently trying to work my way through Pupil which apparantly has quite an extensive installation procedure for windows.
Just as an aside: PyGaze works with EyeLink, SMI, Tobii and EyeTribe trackers. The brand you mention is indeed not supported (sorry!), but if the company produced Python bindings it shouldnt be too hard to integrate it into PyGaze.
There is a pretty generic basic functionality (see attached link for all methods), which you simply have to fill out with code specific to your tracker. Note that this still could be a bit of a hassle if you have no experience with Python.
It of course depends on your hardware, but there is a list here that covers quite a few of the free software options available: https://imotions.com/blog/free-eye-tracking-software/ such as Ogama, GazePointer, xLabs, MyEye, openEyes, PyGaze, OpenGazer, TurkerGaze, GazeParser / Simple Gaze Tracker, and ITU Gaze Tracker. I think it's often "you get what you pay for" with eye tracking software, but hopefully something there can help you out!
