# jspsych-webgazer-init-camera
This plugin initializes the camera and helps the participant center their face in the camera view for using the the [WebGazer extension](/extensions/jspsych-ext-webgazer). For a narrative description of eye tracking with jsPsych, see the [eye tracking overview](/overview/eye-tracking).
## Parameters
In addition to the [parameters available in all plugins](/overview/plugins#parameters-available-in-all-plugins), this plugin accepts the following parameters. Parameters with a default value of *undefined* must be specified. Other parameters can be left unspecified if the default value is acceptable.
Parameter | Type | Default Value | Description
----------|------|---------------|------------
instructions | string | too long to put here | Instructions for the participant to follow.
button_text | string | Continue | The text for the button that participants click to end the trial.
## Data Generated
In addition to the [default data collected by all plugins](/overview/plugins#data-collected-by-all-plugins), this plugin collects the following data for each trial.
Name | Type | Value
-----|------|------
load_time | numeric | The time it took for webgazer to initialize. This can be a long time in some situations, so this value is recorded for troubleshooting when participants are reporting difficulty.
## Example
Because the eye tracking plugins need to be used in conjunction with each other, please see the [example on the eye tracking overview page](/overview/eye-tracking/#example) for an integrated example.
