| 12 | Welcome to DesktopConnector! |
||
| 13 | |||
| 14 | DesktopConnector is the bridge between your remote desktop eye tracking device and gaze-enabled applications. |
||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | At the moment, DesktopConnector is written in Node.js. It consists of a basic server, which provides the interface to the application, and different DeviceConnectors for certain types of remote eye tracking systems. |
||

||
| 36 | |||
| 37 | $ node DesktopConnector.js --tracker=XXX |
