Getting Started - C++ LeiaSR Projects

To start developing LeiaSR projects, the LeiaSR SDK is required. It provides interfaces to various components of LeiaSR, such as eye tracker or hand tracker. In this getting started guide, we will walk you through the SDK installation process, as well as how to build a C++ example project. Further in the example of the C++/OpenGL project we will illustrate how to use essential functionality of the SDK.

SDK Installation

1. Navigate to the Leia developer page: https://support.leiainc.com/sdk
2. There follow the directions to download the LeiaSR SDK.
3. Extract the LeiaSR SDK to a location of your choise.

Tools

1. Download and install CMake version 3.12 or higher, it can be used to generate different project files.
2. This example uses Visual Studio 15 2017.
3. For a complete experience, the Eyetracker application which is installed on each LeiaSR device, should be running. Moreover, the 3D camera should be turned on with the communication to Eyetracker.

Developing an application
