Macro Definition Documentation

◆ FOVE_DEFINE_CXX_API

#define FOVE_DEFINE_CXX_API   0

Macro that controls whether the C++ API will be defined.

The C API is always defined after including this header, but the C++ API is optional. In C++ mode, the C API is extended (for example, with default values for struct members) automatically.

User can set this macro to 0 or 1, either in code before including this, or via compile-flag to choose.

Defaults to 0 if the compiler is a C compiler, 1 if the compiler is a C++ compiler.

Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ Fove_CalibrationMethod

Indicate the calibration method to use.

Enumerator
Fove_CalibrationMethod_Default 

Use the calibration method specified in the configuration file (default: single point)

Fove_CalibrationMethod_OnePoint

◆ Fove_CalibrationState

Indicate the state of a calibration process.

A calibration process always starts from the NotStarted state, then it can go back and forth between the WaitingForUser & CollectingData states, then it goes to the ProcessingData state and finishes with the Successful state.

A failure can happen any time during the process, and stops the process where it was.

From the ProcessingData state the calibration process do not require any rendering and gameplay can be started if wanted but new calibration won't be effective before reaching the Successful state.

Enumerator
Fove_CalibrationState_NotStarted 

No calibration process haven't been started yet.

Fove_CalibrationState_HeadsetAdjustment 

The calibration process is waiting for the user to adjust the headset.

◆ Fove_ClientCapabilities

List of capabilities usable by clients.

Most features require registering for the relevant capability. If a client queries data related to a capability it has not registered API_NotRegistered will be returned. After a new capability registration the Data_NoUpdate error may be returned for a few frames while the service is bootstrapping the new capability.

This enum is designed to be used as a flag set, so items may be binary logic operators like |.

The FOVE runtime will keep any given set of hardware/software running so long as one client is registering a capability.

The registration of a capability does not necessarily mean that the capability is running. For example, if no position tracking camera is attached, no position tracking will occur regardless of how many clients registered for it.

Function Documentation

◆ fove_Compositor_createLayer()

Fove_ErrorCode fove_Compositor_createLayer ( Fove_Compositor ,
const Fove_CompositorLayerCreateInfo layerInfo,
Fove_CompositorLayer outLayer 
)

Creates a new layer within the compositor.

This function create a layer upon which frames may be submitted to the compositor by this client.

A connection to the compositor must exist for this to pass. This means you need to wait for fove_Compositor_isReady before calling this function. However, if connection to the compositor is lost and regained, this layer will persist. For this reason, you should not recreate your layers upon reconnection, simply create them once.

There is no way to delete a layer once created, other than to destroy the Fove_Compositor object. This is a feature we would like to add in the future.

Parameters
layerInfoThe settings for the layer to be created
outLayerA struct where the defaults of the newly created layer will be written
See also
fove_Compositor_submit

◆ fove_Compositor_destroy()

Fove_ErrorCode fove_Compositor_destroy ( Fove_Compositor )

◆ fove_Compositor_getAdapterId()

Fove_ErrorCode fove_Compositor_getAdapterId ( Fove_Compositor ,
Fove_AdapterId outAdapterId 
)

Returns the ID of the GPU currently attached to the headset.

For systems with multiple GPUs, submitted textures to the compositor must from the same GPU that the compositor is using

◆ fove_Compositor_submit()

Fove_ErrorCode fove_Compositor_submit ( Fove_Compositor ,
const Fove_CompositorLayerSubmitInfo submitInfo,
size_t  layerCount 
)

Submit a frame to the compositor.

This function takes the feed from your game engine to the compositor for output.

Parameters
submitInfoAn array of layerCount Fove_CompositorLayerSubmitInfo structs, each of which provides texture data for a unique layer
layerCountThe number of layers you are submitting
See also
fove_Compositor_submit

◆ fove_Compositor_waitForRenderPose()

Fove_ErrorCode fove_Compositor_waitForRenderPose ( Fove_Compositor ,
Fove_Pose outPose 
)

Wait for the most recent pose for rendering purposes.

All compositor clients should use this function as the sole means of limiting their frame rate. This allows the client to render at the correct frame rate for the HMD display. Upon this function returning, the client should proceed directly to rendering, to reduce the chance of missing the frame. If outPose is not null, this function will return the latest pose as a convenience to the caller. In general, a client's main loop should look like: { Update(); // Run AI, physics, etc, for the next frame compositor.WaitForRenderPose(&pose); // Wait for the next frame, and get the pose Draw(pose); // Render the scene using the new pose }

Parameters
outPoseThe latest pose of the headset.

◆ fove_Headset_registerCameraObject()

Fove_ErrorCode fove_Headset_registerCameraObject ( Fove_Headset ,
const Fove_CameraObject camera 
)

Registers an camera in the 3D world.

Registering 3D world objects and camera allows FOVE software to identify which objects are being gazed at. We recommend that clients opt-in to this functionality rather than doing it themselves, as our algorithm may improve over time. Clients of course may do their own detection if they have special needs, such as performance needs, or just want to use their own algorithm.

At least 1 camera needs to be registered for automatic object gaze recognition to work. Use the object group mask of the camera to specify which objects the camera is capturing. The camera view pose determine the gaze raycast direction and position. The camera view pose should include any and all offsets from position tracking. No transforms from the headset are added in automatically.

Connection to the service is not required for object registration, thus you can register your world objects at will and not worry about connection or reconnection status.

Parameters
cameraA description of the camera. Data is copied and no reference is kept to this memory after return.
Returns
Fove_ErrorCode_None if the camera is successfully added or updated
Fove_ErrorCode_API_NullInPointer if either parameter is null
Fove_ErrorCode_API_InvalidArgument if the object is invalid in any way (such as an invalid object id)
Fove_ErrorCode_Object_AlreadyRegistered if an object with same id is already registered

)

Registers a client capability, enabling the required hardware as needed.

Usually you provide the required capabilities at the creation of the headset But you can add and remove capabilities anytime while the object is alive.

Parameters
capsA set of capabilities to register. Registering an existing capability is a no-op
Returns
Fove_ErrorCode_None if the capability has been properly registered
Fove_ErrorCode_Connect_NotConnected if not connected to the service
Fove_ErrorCode_License_FeatureAccessDenied if your license doesn't offer access to this capability

◆ fove_Headset_registerGazableObject()

Fove_ErrorCode fove_Headset_registerGazableObject ( Fove_Headset ,
const Fove_GazableObject object 
)

Registers an object in the 3D world.

Registering 3D world objects allows FOVE software to identify which objects are being gazed at.

◆ fove_Headset_tickEyeTrackingCalibration()

Fove_ErrorCode fove_Headset_tickEyeTrackingCalibration ( Fove_Headset ,
float  deltaTime,
bool  isVisible,
Fove_CalibrationData outCalibrationData 
)

Tick the current calibration process and retrieve data information to render the current calibration state.

Parameters
deltaTimeThe time elapsed since the last rendered frame
isVisibleIndicate to the calibration system that something is being drawn to the screen. This allows the calibration renderer to take as much time as it wants to display success/failure messages and animate away before the calibration processes is marked as completed by the IsEyeTrackingCalibrating function.
outCalibrationDataThe calibration current state information

This function is how the client declares to the calibration system that is available to render calibration. The calibration system determines which of the available renderers has the highest priority, and returns to that render the information needed to render calibration via the outTarget parameter. Even while ticking this, you may get no result because either no calibration is running, or a calibration is running but some other higher priority renderer is doing the rendering.

Fove_ClientCapabilities_EyeTracking should be registered to use this function.

Note that it is perfectly fine not to call this function, in which case the Fove service will automatically render the calibration process for you.

Returns
Fove_ErrorCode_None if the call succeeded
Fove_ErrorCode_API_NotRegistered if the required capability has not been registered prior to this call
Fove_ErrorCode_Connect_NotConnected if not connected to the service
Fove_ErrorCode_License_FeatureAccessDenied if a sufficient license is not registered on this machine
