Does DirectPreview support transferring eye tracking data from the Focus 3 eye tracker?

[wzs]

I found i cannot obtain the eyeTrackingData when running the EyeTracking Demo in DirectPreview(DP) mode.

Wave.Essence.Eye.EyeManager Update() m_LocationSpace: World, hasEyeTrackingData: False

I wonder if the current version of DP supports transferring eye tracking data from the new Focus 3 Eye Tracker Accessory.

Or is it that the only way to access eye tracking data is to build an apk?

Thanks.

Hi @wzs

I'm asking internally about Direct Preview support

VBS seems to have just added this functionality in the latest beta here

Hi, @Alex_HTC, thanks for your reply.

Is there any plan to add this feature to the DirectPreview mode of "Unity3D VIVE WAVE XR Plugin" as well?

Hi @Alex_HTC @Tony PH Lin,

I saw this post and noticed it's related to my own post here: 

 

Did you hear back from the team regarding if this is supported?

Hi @NoahT,

Thanks for inquiry.

Currently we put more focusing on OpenXR support, and also bring DirectPreview feature to OpenXR.

Our target is to enable Direct Preivew on our next OpenXR release, which is target in 6/E.

And Eye and Facial tracking will be included.

Hi @Tony PH Lin,

Thanks so much for getting back to me! This is promising news, and I look forward to future updates!

Do you also know if OpenXR will get other metrics that the Wave SDK offers, such as pupil diameter and pupil position?

Best,

Noah

Hi @NoahT,

Sorry for the late update, that now we can have something new to reply your inquiry.

As described, we're working on Direct Preview support on OpenXR and the fundamental functionalities testing are okay but we need more time to pack related installing steps to be more simple so it's still required some time to refine.

Regarding to last question about the parameters of Eye tracking, we're preparing related info. which WAVE offers to OpenXR and target to have one version in Q3. 

Our target is to make OpenXR Eye related features and Direct Preview both ready in late Q3.

Thanks.
