The EyeWriter 2.0

Step 3 Software - openFrameworks & EyeWriter

The Eyewriter 2.0 requires a few pieces of software for building and running. In this step we will explain how to download and install an IDE, openFrameworks, and the eyeWriter software.


A. Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

• An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development.

• Download and install an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to run openFrameworks if necessary.

B. openFrameworks

• Openframeworks is a c++ library designed to assist the creative process by providing a simple and intuitive framework for experimentation.

• Download and install openFrameworks if necessary.

C. EyeWriter GitHub

• GitHub is a web-based hosting service for projects that use the Git revision control system. It is a platform that allows people to exchange and share code.

• Visit the EyeWriter source page on GitHub.
  http://github.com/eyewriter/eyewriter/tree/remoteEyetracker

• Click Download Source on the top right menu.
• Choose ZIP format.
• After download is complete, unzip the file and place the "eyewriter-xxxxxxx" folder into openFrameworks "apps" folder.
• Open the "apps/eyewriter-xxxxxxx/eyeWriterTracker/RemoteEyeTracker.xcodeproj" file to test that all installations are working correctly. The source code should load in your IDE software.
• please be sure you're compiling for your current Operating System (the eyewriter software was originally compiled for OSX 10.5 so you might need to change compiling from 'base SDK' to 'OSX 10.6')
• Build and Run the source code. The Tracking screen should load in video demo mode.

I can't compile the project with xcode and the newest openframeworks download. Lots of errors, warnings that some stuff is deprecated. Do I need an older openframeworks version?

I used OpenFrameworks pre release v0.061 - you can download it here:

I'm not able to open RemoteEyeTracker.xcodeproj with Visual C++ IDE, could you walk me through?

Thank you!!
