Tobii Eye Tracker 4C - The Game-changing Eye Tracking Peripheral for Streaming, PC Gaming & Esports - Windows Tobii Eye Tracker 4C

It takes a bit of setting up and for me the adhesive backings were a bit on the weak side so I replaced the adhesive parts with 3M command strips. Once it's set up then it functions brilliantly with a good smooth low/no lag response.UPDATE: It's now just over 6 months since I bought this device and it's still going great guns. I use it exclusively with my laptop so it generally gets packed and unpacked and set up daily because I do a lot of travelling with my laptop. I did encounter issues with powering it from my laptop USB ports but when I power it externally from an Anker USB3 hub (I know only USB2 is needed) then I have no issues with it whatsoever.In terms of gaming, the feel of it is very natural and in flight sim games your situational awareness is greatly improved because you can look up, down, left and right without having to worry about controlling where you're flying or using the keyboard or mouse look features most games have especially if you're using a HOTAS for flight control.

Well made but not without flaws.Does not work well with large monitors, tvs, you need a monitor that's 30" or less to really use itFound the software overloads windows using 100% of cpu sometimes, weird but software clearly has some bugsTech is great, but still needs work, they are relying on developers to support the device and no new games have been supporting it sadly. Would like to see more windows functionality, i originally thought i'd be able to control the cursor with my eyes without using mouse but that's not a feature, you still have to use the mouse and the eye tracking will them move the mouse while your moving it to where your eyes are.Look forward to seeing a more updated version in the future.

What is it?An interesting peripheral for Windows 10 pc users that tracks where you are looking on screen, this device can really add something to compatible games. You stick the bar to the bottom of your monitor and it emits infra red light / records your face (and particularly your eyes). This new version has a built in processor for calculating where you are looking on screen with a reasonable degree of accuracy, meaning there's only a marginal additional load on your CPU. It also supports tracking of head movement although this feature currently has limited functionality.Is it hard to use?It was easy to set up and calibrate although do read the instructions on their website carefully - I found where you sit and particularly your eye line in relation to the screen is critical for good tracking, so you may need to raise your monitor up a few cm to get the best results. Once set up, you don't have to sit still like a statue but if you make a major change (adjust the height of your seat or sit further back) you should do a quick recalibration (accessed via the applet and takes about 30 seconds of staring at dots to make them burst - which is fun in and of itself).What does it do in games?This is not a mouse replacement but more of an additional controller / experience enhancer. The games need to support the tracker (either directly in game or via some sort of emulation extension provided by Tobii's software - over 80 are currently listed including some triple A titles. How the games use the tracking varies... in may first person titles, it acts as a pseudo VR like effect where the screen moves around as your eyes scan the screen which can be immersive or can be distracting. In others, it allows you to target or select enemies, scroll the map by looking at the edges of the screen, make the HUD or UI disappear unless you look at it and generally act as a mouse enhancement. To get the best out of this, make sure you have at least one game with native Tobii eye tracker support - my first tests where with Euro Truck Simulator II which really only has emulated support and the results where underwhelming... I then tried F1 2017, a flag ship game and the effect was like night and day - the way the view changed with my eyes and head movements was really immersive and the screen uncluttered unless I looked in the corners. I can also recommend titles like Ubisoft's Steep and the Division as they really embrace the tech and make good use of the effect it can bring to the experience and game play.What else does it do?The tracker can also be used in Windows 10 to select windows when in task view mode, unlock your pc when it detects your face etc via Tobii's software, with native windows 10 support coming this month in the next big windows 10 update.Any problems?it requires a decent USB 2 port with sufficient power to run the device and the lead is quite short and built in / non replaceable (although it did come with an extension cable). It also comes with a spare stick on magnet to attach to your monitor for placing the bar.. which seemed generous except I damaged the first one within seconds (its easy to accidentally apply it in the wrong place and removing it bends the magnetic strip out of place) - be very careful when setting it up for this reason.

After reading a couple of reviews, and as i play many games this hardware uses I thought I would give it a go, and took the plunge. How disappointed i was, it only tracks properly if your face is so close to the monitor you leave a sweaty patch where your nose has been, so any driving sim I had was useless, as no one sits that close when u have a wheel and pedals. elite dangerous wasn't much better either.Windows hello would work either, even after hours of uninstalling reinstalling removing old drivers, etc. even the mounting wasn't really thought through either, i worked well but hampers most monitors controlsMonitor dimmer dint work either, yet it works in the demo, which i found confusing. and the motion sickness was nice either, as the camera moved very weirdly, the f1 car i was driving actually turned the direction i was looking.Be wary, when thinking about one of these, I'm sure they will get it right one day, as a diagnostic tool im sure its fab, but like VR it has few applications in the consumer market.

I found it easy to set up once I restarted my computer after downloading the software. I have a wide screen, no problems with setup or position of Tobii. Works just great with UK Trucksim. Im realy waiting for Microsoft Flightsim to come out then we will see how it realy behaves.No more hats, and boxs stuck on my headphones this is profesional stuff. I have it setup to open Windows just by looking at the tracker no more typing passwords.
