Eye tracking options

Beginners
1

HI
Im looking into ways to eye track/ gaze track in TD and need help in which way to go.
It seems that there are only really hardware options available. As Mediapipe via python does not have gaze support and I dont think I do it in c++.

Can anyone tell me if any hardware options do gaze tracking without much additional programming or purchase of additional software libraries?
For example RealSense, Kinect or Kinect Azure or RTX with (facetrackCHOP)?
I dont want to make an expensive decision without the right information first. As once Im locked into a hardware solution I might not be able to get help easily.

thanks for any help in advance
Joe

As far as I know, the RealSense, Kinects, and nVidia face tracking methods do Not track eyes.

Have you looked into something like the Tobii eye tracker? It may not be directly supported in TD but it is dedicated to gaze tracking.

Thats interesting. I didnt know that it wasnt a more commonly used technique.
RealSense can do it it theory but uses very expensive additional software.

Mediapipe can do it in c++ but not Python (figuring this out is way beyond my skill level)

Hi
If you search github eye tracking you will find python solutions
So you can run python and send informations to Td with Osc or include python code in Td script Top or Chop after managing python libraries with Td
