Usage

Here are some quick samples to get you started:

Finding all eye trackers

var eyeTrackers = EyeTrackingOperations.FindAllEyeTrackers();
            foreach (var eyeTracker in eyeTrackers)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"{eyeTracker.Address}, {eyeTracker.DeviceName}, {eyeTracker.Model}, {eyeTracker.SerialNumber}");
            }

Subscribe to gaze:

        private void SubscribeGazeData(IEyeTracker eyeTracker)
        {
            // Start listening to gaze data.
            eyeTracker.GazeDataReceived += EyeTracker_GazeDataReceived;
            // Wait for some data to be received.
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000);
            // Stop listening to gaze data.
            eyeTracker.GazeDataReceived -= EyeTracker_GazeDataReceived;
        }

        private void EyeTracker_GazeDataReceived(object sender, GazeDataEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.leftEye.GazePoint.Validity == Validity.Valid)
            {
                var left = e.LeftEye.GazePoint.PositionOnDisplayArea;
                Console.WriteLine($"Left gaze: ({left.X}, {right.Y)");
            }
        }
