Skyle.proto

Intro

Thank you for your interest in the Skyle eye tracker. Skyle is the worldwide first eye tracker that works with platforms like iPad OS and many others. Since we use platform independent technologies like gRPC, it is possible to use the device with nearly any platform.

How the connection works

The eye tracker itself is showing up as a network device. This is platform dependent and sometimes the IP is different. That’s why you should only try to use it with its DNS name skyle.local. You do not need to worry about the platform specific interfacing. Also, if Skyle is sold for the iPad, it will send the eye tracking data as a mouse device (HID). This can be disabled with the API.

How to get started?

As a quick start, it is recommended to use the Skyle.proto file with BloomRPC. It is an open-source GUI Client for gRPC services, that instantly works with the provided proto file. It supports for several platforms, like MacOS / Windows / Linux Deb - Arch Linux. Check out the quick examples with BloomRPC in the wiki!
