How much will I have to pay for study design?

Are there open source eye tracking tools?

There are, open source eye trackers and open source eye tracking software's.
In most cases they require coding skills or hardware to get up and running. As a result setting up the open source environment may take much more time than actually conducting an eye tracking experiment.

Among most know open source eye trackers are:
- PyGaze: an open-source toolbox for eye tracking in Python. It provides eye tracking functionality and related projects, including PyGaze Analyser and a webcam eye-tracker.
- openEyeTrack is a video-based eye tracker that utilizes OpenCV, a low-cost, high-speed infrared camera, and GigE-V APIs for Linux (provided by Teledyne DALSA). It also uses the graphical user interface toolkit QT5 and cvui (an OpenCV-based GUI).
- EyeLoop is a Python-based open-source eye tracker designed for various eye types, including rodent, human, and non-human primate eyes. It operates well on inexpensive consumer-grade hardware.
