TobiiTobii Eye Tracker 5

The detector camera is very well built and makes me think I have got something quality for my money.The install on my monitor was easy, the box contains a couple of stick-on plates for use with the magnet, so if you needed to swap between a couple of PC's easy. There is also a larger plastic mount which I would have used but for it blocking the monitor button. Once in position, wait for the software to load and follow the setup instructions.The drives install just as they say and setup is easy. First, you adjust for your monitor size, by adjusting a couple of on-screen arrows to point to the marks on the Tobli. Once that is done look at some spots until they blow up, calibration done. Initially, I had this plugged into my hub, didn't work perfectly, sometimes the drivers would fail. So I used the included USB extension cable and connected direct to my PC. What a difference it now works perfectly with Windows Hello, I just need to look at my PC to unlock it.At present that's about all it will do on a standard PC until you play a game. You can not use it as a standard camera. It would be nice if I could and also if it worked with more business type applications, i.e. use it to scroll the browser while reading. Not sure how that would work while typing but I'm sure the developers will be working on something.I have tried it with a couple of games and it again worked perfectly. Took me a while to get used to the screen scrolling just by looking. I don't play the shoot/fight games so for me it's flight sims and driving.

Update: Added a star even tho the below is true because when I had an issue they replied to me within a couple of hours and were happy to resolve the problem in any way they could.Problem is, there aren't that many games written for it (at least ones I play) and I'm not sure more will be written for it in the future as there's not much online noise about it (I've tried to find out about both Dying Light 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 but not gotten a response).Companies seem to be more interested in getting eye tracking built into VR headsets, which is a good thing but for games that don't support VR the Tobii is an excellent eye / head tracker, if it could emulate the IR Tracker for head movement that would vastly increase the amount of playable games.Whilst there is software that can use it to do mouse actions (something I thought would be built into the base software), there's an extra cost to use that, plus the demo of Iris I tried was too sensitive and by the time I went back to try different sensitivity options it had timed out.The quality of the device feels good, but if you have a curved screen you get this cheap bit of plastic where the magnetic strip glued to it fell out after a month causing the tracker to drop to the monitor base causing unknown damage (this was the problem that they fixed within a couple of hours and assured me the small drop would cause no damage).In games it works with, it's phenominal tho', really precise tracking.

Bought as a special treat to myself primarily for for flight sim and driving sims.Quite easy to install and worked pretty much out of the box for me. Setup was very easy. Need to make some tweaks to get optimum performance and need to be mindful that there is a maximum distance for which this will work reliably.Biggest benefit for me was being able to use it without any attachments or hats, unlike other alternatives such as track ir. Great feeling of freedom and helped the sense of immersion.Would award it 5 stars but marked down to four for two reasons:1. Minor point really, the device must be mounted under the monitor and the means of doing so is a little clunky but not a big deal for me.2. Main reason for the 4 stars is the price. At over £200 it is very pricey for what it is. Much more expensive than say Track ir. Really needs to be more around the £150 mark or even less to get the extra star rating.So far I have been very pleased with it. If you have the money to splash then it should be on your shortlist.

But well made and works well. Works very well as a Windows "Hello" device, and in FSIM 2025

So the good, it was easy to set up, pretty much worked out of the box and it required very little adjustment to get working. It seems to be really well made and the whole product felt premium. However, I just didn't get on with it at all. I play both flight and racing sims and wanted to find a middle ground between using VR and using monitors. Whilst this does what it says on the tin, the camera movement never felt quite smooth enough regardless of what game I was playing, the whole using your eyes to refocus the camera just felt super unnatural and I found the head movement aspect poorly executed. I'm sure for some people this is an amazing solution, but it definitely wasn't for me. I would also say, for what it does and the performance, it seems pretty overpriced.

Great device and not had a single issue.Easy to install and works brilliantly with games like Euro Truck Simulator

If you setup your Rig with the monitor directly above your steering wheel then this head tracker wont work for you. The Tracker has to be setup below the monitor so you will need to raise your monitor stupid high so your hands don't effect the tracking. I also tried to mount it above my monitor looking down on me but I couldn't even get it to work at all.

I bought this so I could "free look" when gaming, rather than having to use a button or mouse / stick. It's easy to setup, the packaging is premium and the accuracy is far beyond what they advertise. I'm using a large TV Screen as a monitor and the tracker has no problem reaching the corners of the screen. It's added a new dimension / immersion level to games as I can use my head / eyes as a camera control which makes simulators more realistic. I guess it's one step down from going full VR, but not having to wear any headgear / tracking gadgets is a big plus for me
