Java SDK for the EyeTribe Dev Kit

This is the Java library implementation for the EyeTribe Dev Kit. This reference implementation provides a Java interface for communicating with the EyeTribe Server through the open EyeTribe API. The library allow developers to get started quickly and focus their efforts on creating truly immersive and innovative apps using our eye tracking technology.

Download

Download the latest JAR or via one of the following package services.

Gradle

Make sure your project is set up to use Bintray by adding the following to the project level build.gradle file.

apply plugin: 'java'
buildscript {
	repositories {
    	jcenter()
	}
}

Then grab the EyeTribe Java SDK package from any module.

compile 'com.theeyetribe:eyetribe-java:0.9.77'

Maven

Make sure your project is configured to use Bintray repository:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
        </snapshots>
        <id>bintray</id>
        <name>bintray</name>
        <url>http://jcenter.bintray.com</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Then add the EyeTribe Java SDK dependency

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.theeyetribe</groupId>
  <artifactId>eyetribe-java</artifactId>
  <version>0.9.77</version>
</dependency>

Samples

An essential part of using the EyeTribe Dev Kit is 'calibrating the system'. Doing so involves creating a UI that supports this library and guides the user through a series of mandatory steps.

This library holds a sample implementation of a Calibration UI using JavaFX. Find this under /javafx-sample. This sample runs on all platforms supported by the EyeTribe Dev Kit that have Java 8 installed.

Building (optional)

You can use the prebuilt version of this library though Gradle or Maven. See the JavaFX sample of this repo for an example of doing so. Should you wish to build it yourself follow the below instructions

Prerequisites:

• Download & install Java JDK 6. Set environment variable 'JAVA6_HOME' to '${your.jdk6.path}'.
• Download & install Java JDK 8. Set environment variable 'JAVA_HOME' and 'JAVA8_HOME' to '${your.jdk8.path}'.
• Download & install InjelliJ IDEA or Gradle.

To build:

• Import Gradle project to InjelliJ IDEA.
• Set project language level to 8 in 'Module Setting -> Project'
• Run gradle task 'sdk:jar'
• Alternatively run task 'sdk:jar' using Gradle from the commandline.
