TobiiGlassesPySuite: an open-source suite for using the Tobii Pro Glasses 2 in eye-tracking studies

Abstract

In this paper we present the TobiiGlassesPySuite, an open-source suite we implemented for using the Tobii Pro Glasses 2 wearable eye-tracker in custom eye-tracking studies. We provide a platform-independent solution for controlling the device and for managing the recordings. The software consists of Python modules, integrated into a single package, accompanied by sample scripts and recordings. The proposed solution aims at providing additional methods with respect to the manufacturer's software, for allowing the users to exploit more the device's capabilities and the existing software. Our suite is available for download from the repository indicated in the paper and usable according to the terms of the GNU GPL v3.0 license.
