Does PyGaze support tobii eye tracker 5? #158

It seems like PyGaze supports tobii products but they don't seem to mention which products. Do they support all tobii products or just the ones made specifically for research. Can anyone confirm that the 5th one works? or if there is an alternative I should use?

I'm looking to analyze focus position on a screen if that is relevant.

Trackers that work through the Tobii Pro SDK should be supported. Note that using the Pro SDK for research purposes requires an additional license, so if you don't have that, I'm afraid your tracker might not work with PyGaze (which uses the Pro SDK).

Older Tobii trackers (from before the Pro SDK) might be supported with the tobii_legacy backend. I can't tell you exactly which ones are or aren't, through, as I simply don't know.

EDIT: When in doubt, check with Tobii directly.
