Dear team,

Two quick question about eye-image capture and data export in ML2.

1, is 30Hz the maximum eye camera image caption rate or there is a way to increase it further.

2, Downloading large numbers of eye images from the hub is slow. Are there features that can accelerate this? Is it possible to export the eye captures as a video?

Thank you very much!

Zipai

You are correct that the eye tracking camera can capture images at up to 30hz, there is no way to go above that rate. For downloading the images, I recommend testing your USB C cable to make sure that it supports high speed data transfer.
