This repository contains C++ programs that demonstrate how to use the FOVE SDK.

The data example shows how to:

• Properly connect to the service
• Read out data and check for error

The DirectX11 example demonstrates the following:

• DirectX setup
• Orientation tracking
• Position tracking
• Stereo rendering
• Submitting frames to the FOVE Compositor
• Eye tracking (objects are highlighted when gazed upon)
• Displaying the rendered scene in a window in addition to the HMD

The OpenGL example is similar to the DirectX11 example, except:

• Uses OpenGL for rendering
• Uses the WGL_NV_DX_interop2 extension to render to a DirectX11 surface (needed for submission to the FOVE compositor)

To build and run, follow these steps:

Visual Studio:

1. Ensure CMake (https://cmake.org/) and Visual Studio 2015 or later are installed.
2. Run CMake to generate a 64-bit Visual Studio project (make sure to select a 64 bit generator such as "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64").
3. Open the generated Visual Studio project, and build and run from there.

Qt Creator + MSVC tool chain:

1. Ensure that you have at least CMake 3.7, Qt Creator 3.8, and the MSVC tool chain (2015 or later) installed.
2. Setup a cmake kit in the Qt Creator options, and ensure that it points to the right cmake/compiler/debugger/generator (use the same generators as suggested above).
3. Open the CMakeList.txt file with Qt Creator, ensure that you've selected the kit you made, and build and run from there.
