This repository was created in order to make the Tobii 4C eye tracker compliant with Systemd, the modern and most used system initializer among linux distributions.
As you may already know, @Eitol kindly provided a suite of scripts for installing and testing the 4C on Ubuntu-like systems, but unfortunately it does not work on my distro (Archlinux), mainly because some of these scripts still rely on SysVinit, which has been deprecated in most modern distros.
Run the install.sh script in the root folder for a system-wide installation of all required services. Please check wether the paths contained in the script match your own (your are doing this at your own risk):
chmod u+x install.sh
./install.sh
To uninstall Tobii 4C tools and services (again, check the paths beforehand):
chmod u+x uninstall.sh
./uninstall.sh
There are two examples for testing the installation. One was provided by @Eitol, which is available in the subfolder test. The other one is a “streamer” app that keeps updating the eye gaze position via UDP sockets at 127.0.0.1:9998, and your can find it in streamer. Assuming you have cmake, you should be able to compile them with the following:
cd examples/test
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
./example
I do not have any relationship with Tobii and I do not own the libraries and the tools provided here. As far as I know, they have been made publicly available by Tobii and you should check with them about licensing.
Special thanks to @Eitol for putting together all the necessary tools from Tobii.
