eyetracker.test.ready

description

Tests whether the participant has granted webGazer access to their webcam, as required by the EyeTracker.

syntax

getEyeTracker(ELEMENT_NAME).test.ready()

notes

  • Use this early in your experiment, and most usefully in the wait command of a Button to proceed only after access has been granted.

example(s) 


@newButton("Start")
@    .print()
$    .wait( newEyeTracker().test.ready()
$        .failure( newText("Please grant access to your webcam").print() )
@    )

  • Adds a button onto the page and wait for the participant to click it. The presence of the EyeTracker element inside wait also triggers the webcam-access request. The test will only be successful after access has been granted: only then will a click on the button be validated.

  • If the participant clicks the button before granting access to the webcam, they will see a message inviting them to do so.
