Calibrating your new Eye Tracking Module Software for Perfect Operation
Steps to install and run the eye tracking calibration software
Answer:
1.In the status interface, if you have installed DroolonPi1, you will be prompted to download aSeeVR software.
2.Run Runtime, two icons will appear in the system tray.
3. Click “calibration” to enter the calibration procedure
4.The two dots in the box represent the relative position of the pupil.
The two dots in the box represent the relative position of the pupil, and the two green dots should appear almost in the middle of the box during normal wear.
5.If two red dots appear, please check if a thin mask is used and the hardware is installed correctly.
Then follow the prompts to calibrate, press ESC to close the calibration program after the end.
Customer service has been asked to inquire.The silicon wrapper and thick sponge will be sent to you together in the streth goal, and everything will be OK.
@Miracle If I received a thinner sponge, is there a way for my to request getting a thicker one too? I measured the one that was sent and it’s the same size as the one I originally received with my 8K+.
When I try to calibrate, I see the 2 green dots for a couple of seconds, then they disappear.
Just a note: I also got the disappearing green dots when I tried out an external cable between PC and headset (which supported the high refresh rates of the eye tracking module when checking in AmCap), but no problems calibrating with the included cable (but only 30Hz in AmCap with this one)…
Both were done using a VRMust foam which is about as thick as the thick one I got from Pimax.
Haven’t tried using the thin one from Pimax.
I got blue eyes so apparently it should be easier for the eye tracking module cameras to distinguish where the pupil is according too @PimaxUSA.
You can try to enhance the distance with some double sided velcro between headset cowling and foam.
I had the same problem on my 8KX. and i have now solved it with help from ryouma’s suggestion… but i did it a bit different.
(i have tested this with an cable from the module and directly to an 3.0 compatible USB C port on my pc)
I installed Pitool 1.0.1.263 and had it down load AseeVR User SDK 10.0.0.8 (had to manually uninstall *.10 first). then i tested it, and now it could calibrate. But it was very unstable.
i made an backup of the “C:\7invesun” directory, and then i installed Pitool 1.0.2.084 again.
when installed i had it to upgrade AseeVR User SDK to version 10.0.0.10 (had to manualy uninstall the old one again).
then i took all the files (not directory’s) from “(backup_location)\7invensun \ aSeeVR_UserSDK \ runtime \ devices \ Pimax \ config” and copyed them to “C: \ 7invensun \ aSeeVR_UserSDK \ runtime \ devices \ Pimax \ config” i did skip when windows asked to replace the two existing files in the location.
after this i can calibrate and it seem to be stable.
before this the only way i could make it work was by setting in an USB cable in with an USB 2.0 limiter circuit so the camera was forced to 30 Hz due to the bandwidth limit. (witch was not an solution i like)
now it’s near 120Hz according to AMCap and it are tracking.
guess that i need to test if the loop cable(the one delivred with the eye tracker) works with this fix tomorrow. it’s to late for me to do this today
@Miracle please forward the above to the right developers if they have not figured it out already
and thanks to ryouma for giving me the hint that i needed
(edited to correct the worst spelling and formulation errors)
I just wanted to update you. i tested the loop cable and it seem to work with this fix…
but according to AMCap its only at 60Hz… but i think i will prefer this as the pulley cable management do not handle two cables from the HMD weary well…
one would wish that pi max had made the extra USB for power able to be Data enabled as well with an USB C plug hanging out to put into the eye tracking… then the bandwidth problem would have been solved
I was able to resolve my issue. I backed up my config folder (as @ryouma suggested). Then I removed AseeVR 1.0.0.10. When I downgraded PiTools from 1.0.2.084 to 1.0.1.263, I had to reboot my headset to initialize the AseeVR install (to version 1.0.0.08). When that version was installed, I decided to do the calibration (out of curiosity). It actually worked then. So when I installed PiTool 1.0.2.084, I had to upgrade AseeVR again (you have to uninstall the old version first). After 1.0.0.10 was installed again, I tried the calibration again, and it worked again. I did NOT have to use the old config folder as others needed to do. So, there is definitely something with the installation. For others having this issue, I would still go through the process that @ryouma described (whether you need to use those files or not). Thank you for the advice.
