• Gyroscope Calibration (For Head Tracking SDK)

Prerequisite

*This SDK is applicable to both MAD Gaze GLOW and MAD Gaze GLOW Plus model. (Except 3D Mode is only available on MAD Gaze GLOW).

The application shall be

• an Android application
• with Target SDK at 27 (Android 8.1 'Oreo')

Getting Started

1. Download the Unity Package here.
2. Double Tap on the downloaded package and import the files.
3. You are ready to develop GLOW-enabled apps.

Device Connection Control

To check if MAD Gaze GLOW / MAD Gaze GLOW PLus is connected. (with permissions provided)

bool isConnected = MadControl.Instance.isGlowConnected();

To check the model of connected smart glasses.

MadControl.DeviceType type = MadControl.Instance.getDeviceType();

if (type == MadControl.DeviceType.GlowPlus) {
	//Do something with MAD Gaze GLOW Plus

} else if (type == MadControl.DeviceType.Glow) {
	//Do something with MAD Gaze GLOW

} else if (type == MadControl.DeviceType.Unknown)  {
   //No connected devices or cannot determine the connected device
   
} 

Brightness Control

Brightness Level: 0 (Almost Dark) - 7 (The Brightest)

Check Screen Brightness

To get the current brightness level of the screen.

//Get the current screen brightness level.
int currentBrightness = MadControl.Instance.getBrightness();

Set Screen Brightness

To set the brightness level of the screen.

//Setting the brightness of the screen at 4. (0-7)
MadControl.Instance.setBrightness(4);

3D Mode Control

*3D Mode is not available on MAD Gaze GLOW Plus.

Check 3D Mode Status

To check if 3D mode is now turned on.

//Check if 3D Mode is now turned on.
bool is3DModeOn = MadControl.Instance.is3DModeOn();

Set 3D Mode Status

To turn on the 3D mode programatically.

//Turn on the 3D Mode
bool isSuccess = MadControl.Instance.turnOn3DMode();

To turn off the 3D mode programatically.

//Turn off the 3D Mode
bool isSuccess = MadControl.Instance.turnOff3DMode();

Gyroscope Calibration

In-App Calibration

To calibrate the gyroscope sensor on smart glasses inside your apps.

This process takes 5 seconds to complete. During the calibration, the device should remain unmoved.

We recommend users to place the smart glasses on a flat surface during calibration.

//Setup a 5-second calibration session. 
MadControl.Instance.startGyroCalibration(
	()=>{
		//Calibration completed.
	},
	() =>{
		//Calibration failed. 
		//Please do not move your device during the calibration.
	}
);

Calibrate with MAD Gaze Connector

To calibrate the gyroscope sensor on smart glasses with MAD Gaze Connector.

MadConnect.Instance.calibrateGyroscope(
   ()=>{
		//Calibration completed. 
   },
   (errorMsg) =>{
		//Calibration failed. 
   }
);

Sample Scene

You can check DeviceControlDemo in MADGaze/Demo/Scenes.
