Hey guys, glad you found this review helpful! I also forgot to mention that people who wear glasses (for blue-light filtering or otherwise) will be happy to know this product works flawlessly with them. If you are having tracking issues while using this product while in-game then I highly recommend tweaking your settings within the respective game you are playing, many issues are resolved once you have the settings dialed-in. Star Citizen, for example, will not work well out of the box and does require some tweaking to get it just right.
Hello, is there any chance to “click” buttons?
Do you still use a mouse with it or does it act as a mouse?
2 things about this first thing you need a computer to run this or possibly a console idk but you will need to buy that second thing this is like a vr thing but u could get a vr headset for a similar price and depends on what one you get you might not even need anything else apart from that it looks fantastic
If I hadn’t already bought Trackir5 last year, I totally would’ve bought this, as it’s on sale this week.
IDK if it was pointed out, but you ‘can’ get Star Citizen to work with your VR headset. It isn’t ‘native’ to SC, but with a few roundabout steps you can get it to work and it is super fun.
The Tobii eye tracker looks great, and the heatmap it can provide looks like it has a lot of great application (and the UX of it in games looks nice)
It’s more expensive than the quest
Great review, im doing research on this as I used trackIR but didnt really care for it and am tempted to try this would it work well with Elite Dangerous and does it support ultra wide/curved monitors out of the or is there some tweaking you have to do? Also I wear glasses would that effect its accuracy in any way?
One problem with that is that the screen doesn’t turn with your head.. i.e.: if you look at your right, how can you look at the screen?
I want this for my American/Euro truck sims cos it is a pain to use the mouse to look left to right at juctions and roundabouts and you are going br doing this alot.
Haven’t u heard of vorpx?
All i want to know is .… If it puts my aim on that “shoot me here” marker in pvp space dog fights in Star Citizen. If it does .… I must have it.
Is this good for control pc only with eye tracker .I am tetraplegic so i can t use hands ‚so I looking for head or eye tracker which not expensive and work very good .
Yeah but you look at your cockpit and realise there’s no bloody screen left, right up or down of you. Which is why it’s terrible
I put Spicey tacos through my ringer
I had the Tobii Eye tracker 4C but I sent it back because the infrared lights pointing at me bugged me too much, have they changed at all or made them less noticeable?
Problem is: max 27″ support. I’ve an 48 OLED, and this is obviously way too big, but also ultrawides like the Odysee G9 or other UltraWides are not supported. I don’t understand why they do not sell two devices, one for UltraWide/BigMonitors and the “standard” one…Would be really interessed in the Tobii…
Does it work with glasses? I can’t see without readers. Lol
what is a “jagwire”?
so no web cam, or any type ???
So you turn your head but keep looking straight… not even close to how reality works.
Eye Tracker vs TrackIR?
Love to see a version for Xbox Series X or PS5. Can’t use left hand and would love to set up buttons on floor for ABXY & use a paddle controller for LT/LB. Anyway to keep informed of you design such a device. Know you could prob pair with Xbox Adaptive Controller. Will follow you on Twitter to hopefully be able to play competitively without getting OWNED( stoped plsying cuz can’t move fluidly).

Could you use this to enable Foviated rendering?
let’s duel in SC @Chase Evans !!
I was served an ad for this on FB so I came to YouTube to find reviews for it because the ad did not make any sense. Now I get it. Kind of. What I don’t understand is the head movement. If you turn your head, your eyes still need to be pointed forward because that’s where your monitor is. So if you turn your head to the right to see something on the right side of the screen…
How do I describe this?
You would be giving your computer the side-eye, right?
Your eyes will be all the way to the left because your head is turned right but your monitor hasn’t moved.
I totally get eye tracking. That makes sense. Move your eyes to the part of the screen you want to be centered on the screen. That totally makes sense and seems like it could be useful. But the head tracking just …
I guess if you had, say, a triple monitor setup and your cockpit was stretched across three screens, turning your head to look at the side screens would make sense. But with just one screen, head tracking just sounds like it would cause eye strain from trying to keep your eyes forward while your head turns to the side.
Great video — thanks for posting it. I do have a question, though. I wear glasses which have bifocal progressive lens. Will the Tobii Eyetracker work well with them or will there be issues?
Can it be attached to a laptop
For the price i rather trackir5 , cheaper and no delay
I love mine. I use it exclusively with MSFS and it is amazing.
you need a large Curve display to good use of this
5:35 theres track ir and theres tobii. case closed
Can you use the trackIR for head movement, and tobii for aiming?
How bright are those flashing red lights in real life?
Some people say they are bright and distracting while others say they are not visible to the naked eye.
i don’t understand… let’s say you look to your left, wouldn’t you look away from the screen? or does the in game camera exagerrate your movement?
