ViewPoint EyeTracker® Systems Overview

Arrington Research, Inc. designs and manufactures quality and affordable eye tracking products. We have developed the ViewPoint EyeTracker ® software and a range of hardware solutions that are appropriate for a wide variety of applications.

New 3DWorkSpace™ and 3DViewPoint™ provide precise 3D depth information for 3D monitors and gaze across multiple monitors.

Pupilometry

Torsion

Rotated elliptical fit provides accurate pupil size in tertiary positions of gaze by using the major axis of rotated elliptical fit. Pupil size in real-time to better than .03 mm resolution with no averaging.

3DWorkSpace™ - NEW!!

Ocular Torsion and gaze position in real-time with free gaze eye movement.

* Complete control* Remote control


An Ethernet server is built into the ViewPoint EyeTracker which provides a real-time interface between multiple computers:

* Real-time streaming data

* Real-time control of the ViewPoint EyeTracker

Inter-Computer Communication

Ethernet Communication

Software Developer’s Kit (SDK)

Sample Code for Demo Apps* ANSI C * MFC (C,C++) * Win32 (C) * BASIC * Python

Samples show how to: Open/close the ViewPoint application; Access all data in real-time; Completely control ViewPoint externally, e.g.: Open/Close/Pause/Resume data files; insert synchronized real-time dataMarkers and stringData and merge data from various sources.

The ViewPoint EyeTracker ® includes a powerful software developer’s kit (SDK) that allows programs to seamlessly interface withViewPoint in real-time. The SDK interface is based on a dynamic-link library (DLL for PC, dylib for MAC OSX). It provides real-time access toall ViewPoint data and complete external control of the ViewPoint EyeTracker. It allows calibration stimuli in the user’s own stimulus window, or the user’s application to draw into ViewPoint’s Stimulus and GazeSpace windows. Event-Driven Real-Time Callback-Function Sample Code#include “vpx.h”int theCallbackFunction( int msg, int subMsg, int param1, int param2 ){ if ( ( VPX_DAT_FRESH == msg ) && ( EYE_A == subMsg ) ) { VPX_RealPoint gp; // a structure with two floats for (x,y) values VPX_GetGazePoint2( EYE_A, &gp); // pass variable by reference printf(“GazePoint = ( %g, %g ) \n”, gp.x, gp.y ); }}

void main(){ VPX_InsertCallback( theCallbackFunction );}

Every GUI ( slider, button, menu) has an equivalent Command Line Interface (CLI) command, that can be sent from remote computers for complete external control of ViewPoint.

VPX_SendCommand( “calibration_Points 16”);VPX_SendCommand( “calibrationStart”);VPX_SendCommand( “dataFile_NewName \“%s\” ”, dataFileName );VPX_SendCommand( “dataFile_InsertString \“Showing picture of cat.\” ”);VPX_SendCommand( “stateEngine On”);

You can also associate commands with FKeys, TTL-In, etc.
