iTrace-Sublime is a plugin for the Sublime Text Editor. The plugin will establish a connection to the iTrace-Core desktop application. Once connected to the Core, the plugin will accept eye-tracking information from the Core and translate it to editor-specific data and output said data to an XML file.
