Get user's distance from their screen

[Joshua]

Is there a way to get the user’s distance from the screen using the Unity SDK?

I noticed the tobii screentime app has the info. But is that information accessible from the SDK?

Thanks.

Hi @joshuabmhc and thanks for your query. Within the Unity SDK, we do provide the head position variable which represents the position and orientation of the user’s head. Position is measured in millimetres relative to the middle of the screen the eye tracker is mounted on.

Whilst additional position variable such as eye position relative to Eye Tracker are indeed exposed in some of our other SDK’s such as Stream Engine API and Core SDK, these are not available in the Unity for Desktop SDK.

Please do let us know if we can provide any further information. Best Wishes.
