ved-capture

ved-capture is the app for simultaneous recording of video, gaze and head tracking data for the Visual Experience Database.

Installation

The app can be installed on most Linux systems with a single Python script that can be downloaded here by right clicking on the "Raw" button and then "Save target as" or on the Releases page.

$ python3 install_ved_capture.py

The script will guide you through the setup process and instruct you what to do. Since the app isolates all of its dependencies in a dedicated environment, the installation has a size of about 3.5 GB, so make sure you have enough space.

Usage

The central tool of this app is the command line tool vedc. You can use it to generate recording configurations, make recordings, update the app and more.

Generating a configuration

Plug in your hardware (Pupil core system, RealSense T265, FLIR camera) and run:

$ vedc auto_config

This will check your connected devices and auto-generate a configuration for your current setup.

Streaming video

To show all camera streams, run:

$ vedc show world eye0 eye1 t265
