VIGILEYE is distributed as a self-contained single executable, so the .NET 8 / WPF / Windows Forms runtime (© .NET Foundation and Contributors, MIT License — https://github.com/dotnet/runtime) is bundled and redistributed under the MIT License.
Optional external driver (not bundled)
| Component | License | Copyright | Project |
|---|
| ViGEmBus driver | BSD-3-Clause | © Nefarius Software Solutions e.U. | https://github.com/nefarius/ViGEmBus |
The ViGEmBus driver is not included in VIGILEYE. It is required only for virtual XInput controller output and is downloaded — only if the user chooses — from its official distribution source and installed separately. Its license applies to that component.
Built-in OS services used (not redistributed)
VIGILEYE also uses services built into Windows that are not redistributed with the app, including the Windows OCR engine (`Windows.Media.Ocr`) for the optional translation overlay and the Windows audio (WASAPI / Core Audio) APIs for the audio mixer. The optional translation features (live overlay and quick translate) send recognized text to the engine you select: the "Microsoft" engine to the Microsoft/Edge translation endpoint (after fetching a token from `edge.microsoft.com`), "DeepL" to the DeepL API, and the LLM engines (GPT / Claude / Grok) to the provider you choose; see `PRIVACY_POLICY.md`.
