v0.18.0 変更点：

• The calibration data format changed. Users should re-calibrate their existing profile(s).
• Windows Media Foundation is now required to run FOVE. This normally comes with Windows, but Windows N users may need to install it separately.
• Improved glass detection and the quality of glass eye tracking.
• Improved eye blinks detection
• Reduce power consumption and execution time of the eye tracking system.
• Fixed orientation drift issue happening when the position camera was not connected.
• Added an eye position adjustment graphic interface: if the headset slips enough that eye tracking is not possible anymore, the interface will popup and guide the user to fix the headset positioning.
• Added user presence detection.
• Fix eye camera blackout issue that was randomly happening from time to time at the launch of the Fove service.
• Reduced the spriral calibration required data processing time.
• Improve the smoothness the of the spiral calibration animation.
• Added calibration failure when the result quality of the calibration is too low.
• Improved the quality of the gaze depth estimation.
• Improved the handling of the sleep mode (the service was crashing most of the time while wakening in previous versions).
• Fixed the headset screen tearing issue that was happening when locking the Windows screen.
• Improved the stability of the camera frames timestamp.
• Fixed a few memory leakage issues.
• Myriad of other bug fixes
• Debug tool: add the possibility to fetch Hmd pose and gaze data passively only if available by unchecking header comboboxes.
• Known Issue: Iris size from the SDK ResearchGaze struct is not working with this verison.
