Tobii Eye Tracker 5

> 3 dayIf you have a bit of money to burn and want to take your flight sim setup to the next level, then eyetracking/headtracking is the way to go. Ive enjoyed this over TrackIR since this has nothing you have to wear. Which means its usable with speakers rather than headphones if you wish. It works in a variety of games (quite surprising honestly) and it works as a windows hello camera. The issues Ive had with it are the monitor mount. Firstly, they dont recommend using it with a monitor that has a nipple control on the bottom center. Which makes no sense considering most high end monitors HAVE one. It seems to work okay. But adjustments may need to be made. Secondly, the cord coming out the side is incredibly annoying. A USB-C cable with connectors to the side and back of the Tobii would make for a MUUCH nicer experience both with aesthetics and cable management.

Greater than one weekAuto detect setup is awkward. Head tracking is very good and eye tracking requires getting use to. Overall, better than TIR 4, but pricey.

Greater than one weekOk the product works but customer support sucks royally. I owned a 4C Tobii Eye Tracker and serial number is still in the Account. You cannot change it to the new one (which is the Eye Tracker 5) so you will have a hard time getting the new game that they promise. You will get a message saying Time for and Update? And to contact customer support. Since theres no instruction on how to update or upgrade your serial number they will give you the run around. You will think this should be easy to do and they should of put the game key in the package instead of saying register your product to get it. When clearly theres no step to register the product. BY THE WAY your serial number is on the box. And they dont even tell you that. It will say check log. So you will look up steps to check your log properly and theres no step. Most likely you will have to wait for 14 days and start sending nasty messages to them asking Wheres the game you promised me for buying your new product? All this can be avoided by adding the serial number in the box as well as the game key for the free game they promised. If an Old school Music DAW can do it. So can a high tech cutting edge Eye Tracker or the group of people creating it. Youve already did the hard part which is making the product. Putting the serial number and game key in the box isnt rocket science. Just saying.

> 3 dayAfter spending years in VR, I was skeptical about trying out this tech. However, I was shocked at how fantastic it works in games like Star Citizen of all games. Combine it with an ultrawide monitor and itll feel as close to high-res VR youll get without needing a headset. Players in Star Citizen crack up since you have full head tracking. People see me turn my head naturally where ever I move my head, even tilting it to the sides to look sideways. Great for immersion!

> 3 day(primary use: Elite Dangerous) I dislike full VR - because I want to be able to have a drink, snack, interact with my dog, be aware of my house, etc, etc. This fills the gap. The eye tracking is awesome and with a few settings tweaks, so is the head tracking. It is the difference between looking at a flat screen and looking though the canopy of a starship - but with the comfort of being able to have a drink IRL, too. I sat on the fence for too long before buying one. Wish Id bought one years ago. Best gaming purchase since my HOTAS. Five stars, all the way to Beagle Pointe.

> 3 dayThis is a hardware/software product looking for a solution. - Mostly all hype! Nothing special over what is already available in games or windows 10 using standard mouse keyboard input. - Tobii Dims the screen - yeah if your screen supports Tobii. My $1500.00 4k monitor does not, but windows can power down my monitors when I am away from Keyboard and wake the monitors up when I touch the mouse/keyboard. -- Windows eye control - NOPE, not if you are using more than one monitor. If you are a serious gamer using 3 monitors - Tobii Eye Tracker offers little if any benefit. When Tobii 5 is enabled for most of the games I use that support Tobii 5 - games are actually harder to play when Tobii 5 is enabled. Tobii 5 is jerky, and prone to errors and also reduce the frame rates. In conclusion - I find no reason to use this technology especially if you are using a multiple monitor setup. Sending mine back for a refund because this product is mostly hype without a real purpose.
