Types Documentation

MLEyeTrackingStaticData

typedef struct MLEyeTrackingStaticData MLEyeTrackingStaticData;

Functions Documentation

MLEyeTrackingStateInit

static inline void MLEyeTrackingStateInit(
    MLEyeTrackingStateEx * inout_state
)

Initialize MLEyeTrackingStateEx with version.

Parameters

MLEyeTrackingStateEx *	inout_state	Set up the version for inout_state and zero all other fields.

API Level:

• 26

---

MLEyeTrackingCreate

MLResult MLEyeTrackingCreate(
    MLHandle * out_handle
)

Creates an eye tracker.

Parameters

MLHandle *	out_handle	A pointer to an MLHandle which will contain the handle of the eye tracker. If this operation fails, out_handle will be ML_INVALID_HANDLE.

Returns

MLResult	MLResult_InvalidParam	Failed to create eye tracker due to an invalid input parameter.
MLResult	MLResult_Ok	Successfully created eye tracker.
MLResult	MLResult_UnspecifiedFaiure	Failed to create eye tracker due to an unknown failure.
MLResult	MLResult_PermissionDenied	The application lacks permission.

Required Permissions:

• com.magicleap.permission.EYE_TRACKING (protection level: dangerous)

---

MLEyeTrackingDestroy

MLResult MLEyeTrackingDestroy(
    MLHandle eye_tracker
)

Destroys an eye tracker.

Parameters

MLHandle	eye_tracker	A handle to an Eye Tracker created by MLEyeTrackingCreate().

Returns

MLResult	MLResult_Ok	Successfully destroyed eye tracker.
MLResult	MLResult_UnspecifiedFaiure	Failed to destroy eye tracker due to an unknown failure.

Required Permissions:

• None

---

MLEyeTrackingGetStaticData

MLResult MLEyeTrackingGetStaticData(
    MLHandle eye_tracker,
    MLEyeTrackingStaticData * out_data
)

Gets static information about the eye tracker.

Parameters

MLHandle	eye_tracker	A handle to an Eye Tracker created by MLEyeTrackingCreate().
MLEyeTrackingStaticData *	out_data	Target to populate the data about the eye tracker.

Returns

MLResult	MLResult_InvalidParam	The out_data parameter was not valid (null).
MLResult	MLResult_Ok	Eye tracking static data was successfully received.
MLResult	MLResult_UnspecifiedFailure	Failed to receive eye tracking static data.

Required Permissions:

• None

API Level:

• 20

---

MLEyeTrackingGetStateEx

MLResult MLEyeTrackingGetStateEx(
    MLHandle eye_tracker,
    MLEyeTrackingStateEx * out_state
)

Gets information about the user's eyes.

Parameters

MLHandle	eye_tracker	A handle to an Eye Tracker created by MLEyeTrackingCreate().
MLEyeTrackingStateEx *	out_state	Information about the eyes.

Returns

MLResult	MLResult_InvalidParam	Failed to receive eye tracking state due to an invalid input parameter.
MLResult	MLResult_Ok	Successfully received eye tracking state.
MLResult	MLResult_UnspecifiedFailure	Failed to receive eye tracking state due to an unknown failure.

Required Permissions:

• None

NOTE: To ensure a clean trace of any eye state, it is important to monitor the confidence value of that eye to reject frames where confidence is 0 (or employ another fallback strategy like propagating the last high confidence value).

API Level:

• 9
