Get Time Synchronization Data

Provides data for the time synchronization. Only supports streaming from one eyetracker at a time. If there is the need to use a different eyetracker, use the method stop_time_sync_data first and start a new data stream for the new eyetracker. Returns a class with 3 different time stamps:

SystemRequestTimeStamp: time stamp when the computer sent the request to the eye tracker.

DeviceTimeStamp: time stamp when the eye tracker received the request, according to the eye trackers clock.

SystemResponseTimeStamp: time stamp when the computer received the response from the eye tracker.

If no input is provided an array of TimeSynchronizationReference instances will be returned. If an input 'flat' is provided the function will return a struct with arrays of the collected data for each individual property of the time synchronization data.

If an error occurs during this stream the data returned will be of the class StreamError.

For every call of this method an array of the collected data will be returned. This means that on the first call, if no error has occurred, an empty array will be returned. Note that the returned data will not be the data collected since the first call of this method, only the data collected in between calls will be returned.

Returns: array with instances of class TimeSynchronizationReference.

Get Gaze Data

Provides data for gaze. Time synchronized gaze is not supported on all eye trackers, other eye trackers need additional license to activate this feature. Only supports streaming from one eyetracker at a time.

If there is the need to use a different eyetracker, use the method stop_gaze_data first and start a new data stream for the new eyetracker.

It is possible to check the validity of the data received using the validity field. Complementary, if some specific data field is invalid then it will contain nan (Not a number) as its value.

If no input is provided an array of GazeData instances will be returned. If an input 'flat' is provided the function will return a struct with arrays of the collected data for each individual property of the gaze data.

If an error occurs during this stream the data returned will be of the class StreamError.

For every call of this method an array of the collected data will be returned. This means that on the first call, if no error has occurred, an empty array will be returned. Note that the returned data will not be the data collected since the first call of this method, only the data collected in between calls will be returned.

Returns: array with instances of class GazeData.

Get User Position Guide

Provides data for user position guide. Only supports streaming from one eyetracker at a time.

If data is available an instance of UserPositionGuide will be returned, otherwise the output will be empty.

If an error occurs during this stream the data returned will be of the class StreamError.

For every call of this method an array of the collected data will be returned. This means that on the first call, if no error has occurred, an empty array will be returned.

Get HMD Gaze Data

Provides data for HMD gaze. Only supports streaming from one eyetracker at a time.

If there is the need to use a different eyetracker, use the method stop_hmd_gaze_data first and start a new data stream for the new eyetracker.

It is possible to check the validity of the data received using the validity field. Complementary, if some specific data field is invalid then it will contain nan (Not a number) as its value.

If no input is provided an array of HMDGazeData instances will be returned. If an input 'flat' is provided the function will return a struct with arrays of the collected data for each individual property of the gaze data.

If an error occurs during this stream the data returned will be of the class StreamError.

For every call of this method an array of the collected data will be returned. This means that on the first call, if no error has occurred, an empty array will be returned. Note that the returned data will not be the data collected since the first call of this method, only the data collected in between calls will be returned.

Returns: array with instances of class HMDGazeData.

Enable Notifications

Enables the notifications for the eyetracker.
