Tobii extension

[Katherine G]

Hi,

I am using a Tobii x60 eye tracker with the extension for E-Prime and am going through the manual to add eye tracking to my experiment.  In my experiment, I am tracking mouse movements and clicks through x and y coordinates, but when I added the eye tracker, the eye movements are now moving the cursor on all slides and the mouse is basically rendered useless for movement.  I copied the Tobii example script and SaveGazeData in line to my experiment, changing all of the relevant names of slides and sub-objects, so I'm not sure what else may have gotten confused in translation to cause this problem.  Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Katherine

Update:  I emailed PST Support at the same time as posting, and they got back to me with a solution, below, if anyone else encounters the same problem. 

The important thing to keep in mind when doing this is to distinguish between the MouseCursor and the cursor that Tobii uses to track the mouse movement. To do this, you would have to detach the mouse cursor from the eye tracker device. The cursor will still appear, but the participant's gaze will not be shown with the mouse cursor. This line of script is necessary in the latest version of E-Prime Extensions for Tobii (EET). Users often want the eye tracking to occur with the cursor and not the mouse. You could change the script to implement it the other way if needed.
