Hi Chris, Here Jaime from Fribourg university. We want use mworks together with a Tobii device (Tx300) for eye tracking. I started looking at the online manuals but I couldn’t find if there is an existing plug in to be able to use mworks with Tobii. Hence my question is: how can I output the signals from tobii, in order to use it with mworks Have a nice day Jaime Cadena ---

Hi Jaime, There is no existing MWorks plugin for communicating with Tobii devices. Tobii does provide a macOS-compatible [software development kit](https://www.tobii.com/products/software/applications-and-developer-kits/tobii-pro-sdk/tobii-pro-sdk) (SDK), which should allow us to create a plugin comparable to the MWorks [EyeLink interface](https://mworks.github.io/documentation/latest/components/eyelink_device.html). One potential issue: It looks like the TX300 has [been discontinued](https://connect.tobii.com/s/article/how-to-set-up-the-tobii-pro-tx300), and the SDK info doesn’t list it as a supported device. Probably it is still supported, but you should confirm that with the Tobii folks. Cheers, Chris ---

Hi Chris, We wrote to Tobii and apparently the device is still supported. Then, could you please develop a plug in to interface mworks with this device? Many thanks in advance Cheers, Jaime ---

Hi Jaime, > [@jcadena](#): > > We wrote to Tobii and apparently the device is still supported. Then, could you please develop a plug in to interface mworks with this device? Yes, I can, although it will take a while. Given my current work load, I’d guess that it will be at least 6 months (possible longer) before I could get this done. Also, since I won’t have the hardware on hand for testing, you or someone else on your end will need to do a significant amount of testing and debugging to get the interface working. I could provide remote guidance and support for such testing (e.g. via Zoom or Skype). Let me know how you’d like to proceed. Cheers, Chris ---

Hi Chris, We will probably switch the eye tracker then. Thanks a lot for checking on this. If we plan again to use a Tobii device, I will let you know Have a great week Jaime ---

OK, thanks for letting me know! Chris ---
