We are pleased to announce the alpha release of hmd-eyes v1.0-alpha!!

hmd-eyes v1.0 is a going to be a complete overhaul of the current hmd-eyes plugin, with a much cleaner and way more flexible architecture. We are dropping support for the 2d approach and focus entirely on 3d gaze tracking. Starting with a new gaze demo scene and much more stable gaze visualization.

Please refer to the release/alpha branch for checking the readme and documentation.

We also created a dedicated channel (#hmd-eyes-alpha) on our discord server to gather your feedback and post about updates.
