The Eye Tribe

Hi,
I have started to work with The Eye Tribe. And I like to know if I can store the results calibration inside of a file. I have seen examples that save these files in the following path: "C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Local\EyeTribe".
Could I indicate to the EyeTribe server which calibration file must be used?
Could I save the calibration between different executions (turning off the computer)?

Thanks!

Hi David,

Currently the calibration is set in run-time and persists through multiple client sessions and aborted calibration. The feature to persist and restore a calibration over multiple boot sequences is on our roadmap.

I definitely need this. For my use case, I am placing a single tracker centered beneath my two screens. Since I can't figure out how to make the calibration UI "straddle" the two extended screens, I slid the tracker under the left screen, calibrated, then moved tracker to its final position.

Works, but intractable to do after every boot!

Are there any news about it? thanks!

Hi David,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. We now have implemented the automatic calibration saving and restoring, this will be included in the upcoming release which I hope we can ship later this week.

Hello Martin,
I'm very interested about the "restore previous calibration" feature, and I would like to know if you guys have already developed that at this time.
Thanks in advance.

Gustavo,

Found a little UI bug in the release candidate which is scheduled to be fixed.

Sorry for the delay.

Hi Martin,

I followed the exchanges about storing and restoring the calibration data. I, too, would be very interested by this possibility !!!
Any idea of a date for a release of this feature in the next version .. ?
Also, it would be good to be able to make a calibration with fewer points (3 or 5) ... I understand the risk of loosing precision, but as I'm working with patients unable to sustain their attention for a long time (well not that long I agree, but still significant), so that I am often unable to complete a 9 point calibration and must abandon the on-going protocol for that reason...
Thanks for your help !

Best,
Jean

Hi Jean,

First version with the calibration-persisting has been released. It will automatically save a successful calibration and restore it on start. In the future we plan to roll out support for loading and saving of any given calibration.

Hi Martin

Thanks for the answer and for the new function allowing saving calib settings. Any plan for choosing the number of calibration points (3-5-9 ?)
Best
Jean
