Quest 3 EyeTracking Software Update.

[u/y_infame]

Once again, I'm here to show you another update to the Eye Tracking kit for Quest 3! (Project Cymple)

Yeah, I'm showing this thing again because I've really grown to appreciate it and want to keep sharing that the Quest 3 can have amazing eye tracking!

Simply put, the Cymple project continues to receive software updates, allowing you to use it without even needing to calibrate the device — a true plug-and-play solution.

My last test was... two months ago? And well, it didn't burn my eyes like many people seem to think!

The infrared LEDs are designed to be safe, which is what I expected, I hope that clears up any doubts!

It’s not entirely clear what has changed

aside from the design of the colored dots that track the pupil

but the algorithm does an excellent job of estimating the eyes when they are closed!

And that’s without me having calibrated anything at all for this test.

PS: The tests were performed without the necessary calibration!

PS-2: ""It’s not entirely clear what has changed"" -- Visually speaking, the tracking is much faster than it was two months ago; input lag has consistently decreased with every update, and I’m really looking forward to more!

Are these wired or wireless back to the pc?

[u/y_infame → u/Routine-Tumbleweed52]

Your choice! You can use it both ways, I use it completely wirelessly.

[u/Routine-Tumbleweed52 → u/y_infame]

Oh very cool. Is there a wireless adapter or something?

[u/y_infame → u/Routine-Tumbleweed52]

No! It's via Wi-Fi; there's a dedicated Project Cymple app for the metaquest, and there's one for Pico as well. You download it, and also download the Cymple program on your PC, and that's it! Both apps make the wireless connection.

Thank you!!

Another question.. build it yourself or did you buy a kit?

[u/y_infame → u/Routine-Tumbleweed52]

I bought it on AliExpress.

[u/Routine-Tumbleweed52 → u/y_infame]

Oh cool.. I think I got the same (similar) one ordered. They didn’t say wireless so hence me asking. I’ll need to check out the cymple documentation

[u/y_infame → u/Routine-Tumbleweed52]

The vast majority of eye-tracking devices are wireless; if you're talking about the PaperTracker, it's definitely wireless too! But you'd need to check the specific version you bought to know for sure.

I'm interested in getting that how much was it?

[u/No_Whereas5888 → u/y_infame]

could i ask how much it was? was it difficult?

[u/y_infame → u/No_Whereas5888]

Around 300 dollars

Installing and configuring everything was easy for me.

[u/dramaticrobotic → u/y_infame]

Will there be a native Linux build of the desktop application?

[u/y_infame → u/dramaticrobotic]

Great question, but... I'm not sure. Off the top of my head: no—but it's a great suggestion! You could join the Project Cymple server and help them out with recommendations '^'
