Synopsis

Tobii Web Socket Server is a Web Socket Server that wraps the Tobii EyeX SDK and transmits the data through web sockets. We used it in our EyeCaptain Electron application to stream the X/Y positions to the app.

Usage

• run TobiiSocketServer.exe, which will start the server on the default port (8887)
• you can optionally pass a custom port number like TobiiSocketServer.exe 8886

Usage in electron

• in your Electron main application, start the Server as a background process:

var child = spawn("path/to/TobiiSocketServer.exe", {
    //stdio: "ignore"
  });

• After starting, tell the renderer process to connect to the websocket and do something with the position information

var ws = new WebSocket('ws://' + ipAddress + ':' + port);
ws.on('open', function () {
  // Tracker connected
});

ws.on('close', function () {
  // Tracker disconnected
});

ws.on('message', function (msg, flags) {
  // Parse json position message:
  var tmpPosition = JSON.parse(msg);
  console.log(tmpPosition)
});
