SRanipal with UE4

[AnanyaSairaj]

Hey everyone,

I am new to UE4 and am working on a project which requires eye tracking data with time stamps.While I have calibrated the SRanipal I am not able to figure out how to run it on my own characters and also how to get the raw data.Any sort of guidance or insight is appreciated!

You could download SRanipal SDK here, ttps://developer.vive.com/resources/knowledgebase/vive-sranipal-sdk/, which encloses Unreal sample.

I got the basic eyesample module in UE4 down I just need help figuring out how to run it in my own project and get time stamped data for my charecters.

Hi @AnanyaSairaj can you elaborate a bit more on what you need to do with the time stamped data. And what exactly do you mean with the term characters? Do you mean the Actors in your Unreal Scene?

If you want to use SRanipal in your own UE4 project then you will need to copy and paste the SRanipal Plugin(found in SRanipal_SDK_1.1.0.1\03_Unreal\Vive-SRanipal-Unreal-Plugin\Plugins) in your Project's Plugin folder or create a new Plugins folder inside your project folder structure and paste it there. You can also find a document inside the SDK you downloaded called "Getting Started with SRanipal in Unreal Eye" that has more information.

At the moment, you can use different functions to get features such as pupil position/diameter, Eye openness, Gaze Ray, Focus object, Eye Blendshape morphs,etc.
