EyeData v1 vs v2

[nbhatia 3]

Hi,

While using SRAnipal SDK, I see that the eye data structure is declared as two versions: v1 and v2. It would be great of somebody can provide more detail about applicability of two versions. 

E.g.
ViveSR::anipal::Eye::EyeData
ViveSR::anipal::Eye::EyeData_v2

Many Thanks,
Nitesh

To compare EyeData and EyeData_v2 you could see an extra member, expression_data, which represents more facial expression blendshapes

I see. Thank you. Is this the only difference between v1 and v2? I was wondering if there would be any difference in terms of efficiency, precision and sampling rate. 
Many Thanks,

Nitesh

No if you only need eye gaze information.

Ok. That clears a lot of confusion. Thank you @Daniel_Y🙂

@nbhatia how are you going about getting the data from the SDK? I'm new to this and trying to figure out how to pull that data into a writable export file of some kind (ideally a CSV).

Hi, have you checked the sdk? There are dome examples already.

Trying to work trough it now. I see the different levels in Unreal but don't know where to start with the data extraction. I examined the dartboard actor but am unsure how to use what I'm looking at here (DartBoard.h)

---------------------------------

Do I need to modify this code so as to utilize it as a kind of template?

- If so, where do I modify and what structure do I use?

Sorry if this is a basic question but I'm brand new to C++ 👶

Hi,

I am away from my PC atm. But I remember examples written in C were easiest to understand the API. One example had a file writer if I remember correctly.

Also check some older posts in this forum. There is one post for unity in C# where data is handled in a separate thread. Else, consider writing a new post. People in this forum is very good.
