This isn’t correct. Talon supports eye tracking on all of Windows, Linux, and Mac with the same hardware.
- ornornor 6y agoI think parent is talking about the Tobii. I was also very very excited about it (I can’t find a mouse or trackball that won’t give me hand or shoulder or wrist pain) but then I saw it only works on windows... and nothing else. No Linux support. So that’s a no go. If someone knows of such a device for Linux, I’d love to hear about it!
- lunixbochs 6y agoLet me be more specific. The Tobii 4c, PCEye Mini, and Tobii 5* work approximately the same on Linux, Mac, and Windows with Talon out of the box. * The Tobii 5 does work, but is a work in progress and has some caveats until I do more work on it.
- navels 6y agoWould you mind elaborating on this? I'm ready to buy a Tobii but would like to know what the model 5 caveats are and how long you think it'll be WIP. And if you think the improved specs on the 5 make it worth waiting for. Thanks!
- lunixbochs 6y agoThe caveats make it short term worse than the 4C for some mouse modes, long term it should be the best option overall once I fix some things.
- luckylion 6y agoOh, that's great news. I thought Talon needed the drivers to work and was constrained in that regard. I will need to free up some time and try it out.
