Is it possible to have the EyeX run a script?

[Grant Wilde]

Hey all,

Basically, what I’m wondering, is whether it’s possible to have the EyeX run a script/shortcut every time it picks up my eyes, and also every time it loses my eyes? I also have the NUIA environment running if that helps?

Cheers,

Hi Grant,

Since EyeX Engine 1.4.0 there is a state called “GazeTracking” that indicates if the user’s eye-gaze is currently tracked or not. All the EyeX SDK’s (for C/C++, .Net, and Unity) includes code samples that shows how you could set up a state change listener for that state. With a small console app you should then be able to use the state change to programmatically trigger running a script/shortcut.

Hi Jenny,

Thanks for the information. I’d basically like Windows 10 to automatically change the default sound output (and display if possible!) if EyeX sees me, and to switch it back when I leave. I think the scripting may be a little too complex for me though based on your information – are you planning to implement any features like this in the future?

Cheers 🙂
