Set up eyetracker with pygame display instead of psychopy.Window

psilonpneuma

Hi,

Is it possible to set up the Eyelink 1000 eyetracker with a Pygame window object as the display for calibration and stimuli presentation?

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Not sure about that, but you can modify the calibration targets that are shown on the screen. A way to do it is described here: https://forum.cogsci.nl/discussion/3804/child-friendly-calibration-eyelink

Does that help?

Not directly, but you can get a handle to the active PyGame display surface by setting DISPTYPE="pygame" in a settings.py file, and then doing the following:

Separate "settings.py" file:

DISPTYPE = "pygame"
TRACKERTYPE = "eyelink" # or any other supported tracker

Your main script:

import pygame

from .settings import *
import pygaze
from pygaze.display import Display
from pygaze.eyetracker import EyeTracker

disp = Display()
tracker = EyeTracker(disp)

surf = pygaze.expdisplay

# Do pygame stuff with your surface.
# You can blit to it, and pygame.display.flip() will work
