    33''Description''
    44
    5   !PyGaze is an open-source toolbox for eye tracking in Python. It has an uniform and user-friendy syntax and it is aimed for people with minor to advanced programming skills in Python. Pygaze acts as a wrapper around several existing packages. From stimulus presentation to eye-tracker communication: everything can be handled by via !PyGaze scripting. As a a Python library for eye tracking you can use a set of plugins that will allow you to use !PyGaze from within !OpenSesame. You can install !PyGaze on Windows as well as on Ubuntu.
     5  !TrackEye is a free software for real-time tracking of human eyes using a webcam. It has three components: face detection, eye detection and eye feature extraction. !TrackEye supports two different face detection algorithms: Haar Face Tracking and
     6CAMSHIFT, two eye-detection algorithms: Adaptive Principal Components Analysis and Template matching.

    7   !PyGaze supports the following eye trackers:
    8 
    9   - !EyeLink — For information on how to run !OpenSesame with !PyLink support
    10   - !EyeTribe — Works out of the box.
    11 
    12   Advantages of !PyGaze:
     8  Features of !TrackEye:
    139 
    14   - user-friendly platform
    15   - saccade detection algorithm (for online detection)
    16   - sharing code is easy (works on Windows, Linux and Mac OSX)
    17   - creating eyetracking experiments in Python syntax with the least possible effort
    18   - can be used for visual and auditory stimulus presentation; for response collection via keyboard, mouse, joystick, and other external hardware
     10  - RealTime face tracking with scale and rotation invariance
     11  - Tracking eye features
     12  - Tracking the eye areas individually
     13  - Remote controlling using eye movements
     14  - Eye gaze direction finding

    40 
    41 ''Original goal:''
    42  
    43   - bundles of code for a large range of different eye trackers from different manufacturers into a single interface.
    44   - open-source based on excisting libraries
    45 
    46 ''Future goals:''
    47 
    48   Short term:
    49   - better variable management and getting rid of some annoying bugs
    50   - an analysis suite to complement the existing experimental library
    51 
    52   Long term:
    53   - incorporate support for more eye trackers and support for even more obscure peripherals
    54   - support for electroencephalography
