PyGaze and Tobii EyeX eye tracker

martina.pirrucciomartina.pirruccio
edited July 2018 in PyGaze

Hello!
I’m new to OpenSesame and I’m trying to run an experiment including the Tobii EyeX. I’ve never used an eye tracker before, but I know that this one is quite simple and (from what I red in this forum) it can be integrated in OpenSesame.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a clear explanation about how to use the PyGaze item, except for this: http://osdoc.cogsci.nl/3.1/manual/eyetracking/pygaze/#pygaze-opensesame-plugins.
Please, can you help me to make it work providing me the correct sequence of the items and the way to include Tobii EyeX?
So far, every time I try to run my experiment this message occurs:

File "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenSesame\lib\site-packages\libqtopensesame\misc\process.py", line 154, in run
    exp.run()

Thank you!

    Hi Martina,

    You need to install the tobii-research package. The easiest way to do that is with the Python package manager:

    Thank you for your answer Sebastiaan!
    Unfortunately I'm still having some iussue. When I find the tobii-research package in the Python package manager and click on "Install", the message "Failted to installed tobii-research" occurs. During this, the debug window shows this:
    Collecting tobii-research
    Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/7c/0a/454ceaec763119fb9fbac763ba39ca47eb4dc9bc825ca243e7874722462e/tobii_research-1.5.0-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl
    Installing collected packages: tobii-research

    So I tried to type "pip install tobii-research" in the debug window, but this is the outcome:
    File "", line 1
    pip install tobii-research
    ^
    SyntaxError: invalid syntax

    I also downloaded the file tobii_research-1.5.0-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl from the link that you gave me, but I don't know how to use a file with the .whl extension.

    How can I solve this problem?

    Thank you again!

    Hi Martina,

    Have you tried running OpenSesame as adminstrator? If you have, could you post the complete error message that you see in the debug window? (It seems that you posted only the beginning.)

    So I tried to type "pip install tobii-research" in the debug window, but this is the outcome:

    If you want to do this from the debug window, you need to use pip as a Python library, like so:

    import pip
pip.main(['install', 'tobii-research'])

    Cheers,
    Sebastiaan

    Hi Sebastiaan!

    Thank you for your suggestion, I wasn't running OpenSesame as administrator (I did it and it worked, tobii-research package has been installed!).

    However, now I have a different problem (I think). When I run my script using my Tobii, this message appear in the debug window:

    Starting experiment as ExperimentProcess-1

    Is there something else that I need to install in order to use my Tobii EyeX? Can you help me with this iussue?

    Thank you!

    Hi Martina,

    It looks like you're using an old version of OpenSesame that includes older version of all the necessary libraries. So the Tobii functionality is probably simply broken.

    Would it be an option to upgrade to the latest version of OpenSesame (currently 3.2.4)?

    Cheers!
    Sebastiaan

    Hi Sebastiaan!

    Yes, I'm already using the last vesrion of OpenSesame (3.2.4).

    Anyway, now a different message appears when I try to run your template for eye-tracking experiments; here is it:

    I'm sorry to bother you again. What can I do in this case?

    Thank you!

    Hi Martina,

    This appears to be a character encoding bug in PyGaze. If you select a logfile location that doesn't have any special (non-ascii) characters in it, does the error go away?

    Cheers!
    Sebastiaan

    Interesting issue! Any ideas on how to solve it, Sebastiaan? (You're the encoding nerd ;) )

  • sebastiaansebastiaan

    Yes, I filed a bug report here!

    Just to update the issue on this platform too: The EyeX does not seem to be supported by the new Tobii SDK, which means the current tobii TRACKERTYPE is unlikely to work with the EyeX. (To be honest, I'm a bit confused by the specifics, but it seems like Tobii introduced a mechanism that actively prevents the EyeX from being used with the new SDK to collect data, as this is something they explicitly forbid in their end-user license agreement?)

    There exists an older implementation in the tobii-legacy TRACKERTYPE, which is based on the previous Tobii SDK. (I'd wager that that also isn't non-ascii safe, although I haven't gone back and checked it.) Unfortunately, using this TRACKERTYPE means you'd need all the old Tobii SDK software too, which is proprietary stuff available from Tobii only.

    For the whole discussion, see the issue that @sebastiaan filed on GitHub: https://github.com/esdalmaijer/PyGaze/issues/120

    Sorry we couldn't be of more help!
