Will the SDK provide access to the raw image data?

Thanks

The SDK does not provide access to raw image data. You can see the information provided through the API here: http://dev.theeyetribe.com/api/

The SDK might not, but I noticed today that the camera shows up to windows as a normal webcam, so you should be able to access the raw data that way.

Correct, we have made no effort to obfuscate or encrypt with the device raw output. The device is based on the UVC standard supported by most operating systems (might change as we incorporate more advanced features). Please note that you should not access the device while the tracker server is running as the software could "steal" the video stream and stop tracking. At this time we don't support modifications or alternative configurations of the device, doing so on your own might have negative effect of your device.

I have also tried to look at the raw video stream and I get strange results. AMCAP shows the Video as YUY2 encoded with no other possible selections. The video looks purplish-green. Is this the expexted behavior? Are there other recommended viewers that give a better representation?
