The author describes how they used Talon, a voice-control software, to integrate an eye tracker into a project. They discuss challenges with using the Tobii 5 eye tracker on Linux, as its native SDK supports only more expensive models and is Windows-based. They detail creating a Python script to use Talon's eye tracker module, handling gaze data, and setting up a hot-reloading server to expose this data. Despite some integration hurdles, they successfully linked the eye tracker to a Rust program, enabling eye-tracking inputs for a game development project.
