How Tobii eye tracking is used in gaming: Tobii eye tracking is used by gamers who want to take their game to the next level with deeper analytics, improved game control, and greater streaming options. The three common usage scenarios include:
- Game-control: Use head and eye movements to control the in-game camera, to act quicker, and to have more immersive game experience. Players effortlessly affect game elements using the eyes, for example, to aim, pan the camera around the screen, or select objects.
- Training: Become a better player with the knowledge of how your visual attention impacts your play. Players use eye tracking analytics with metrics such as tunnel vision, awareness, and focus to make quicker and better-informed decisions.
- Streaming: Create and stream content that provides insights about your decision-making, fixation, and awareness. By visualizing the eye movements, streamers allow viewers to get a greater understanding of the gameplay.
.
Tobii Eye Tracker 5 does not work with Microsoft Windows eye control as of today. But we’re keen to expand functionalities as soon as possible.
Intelligent sensor technology
Under the hood lies a custom-built infrared optical sensor, built specifically for responsiveness, accuracy, and reliability. When tracking is activated, the Tobii Eye Tracker 5 delivers incredible in-game performance and game training capabilities – helping you to maximize your competitiveness and enjoyment.
One mount fits all
Our new flex mount is designed to be universal and adaptable to flat and curved screens, as it can be mounted underneath the monitor, with additional flat mounts for built-in screens.
Adaptable to a variety of conditions
Tobii Eye Tracker 5’s illuminators emit near-infrared light, allowing it to perform exceptionally well in varying light conditions.

Been using this for about 3 months in Flight Simulator. Mounted it below a fairly large screen TV as the main display. The setup and calibration went pretty easily, no issues. Expect to spend time playing around with the settings, such as the relative balance between head tracking and eye tracking. Be sure to set up two key bindings to control it: I use F12 for 'recenter the view' and shift-F12 for 'turn on / off'. I normally fly with it turned on while in the air; it's wonderful to be able to look around and not take your hands off the controls. SO much better than trying to use the mouse, etc. I turn it off when aircraft is not moving (or sometimes when I pause in midair) - it's pretty hard to keep your head still while you are twisting your head around to find a control in the cockpit and then hit it with the mouse. Much easier to turn off tracking, using convention mouse movement and clicking such as to flip switches and move stuff like tailwheel lock - it's a lot easier because they don't 'jump around' like they do when tracking is on. Watch the better YouTube videos, you'll get a lot of useful tips on making it work in a way that pleases you. Don't expect to plug in and fly - your experience will be less than great, maybe even miserable - so do the setup and prep properly. It's not cheap, but to me it has been very worthwhile - makes flying so much more immersive. Recommended!

Absolut top!
Ich hatte selbst nicht erwartet, dass der Tobii SO gut funktioniert, selbst mit Brille. Die Einrichtung und Software ist erstklassig einfach und schnell und die Funktionsweise einwandfrei. Auerdem ist selbst durch die Brille das Eye-Tracking erstaunlich przise.
Der Preis ist mit etwa 260 inkl. Rabattaktion nicht gerade wenig, aber dafr erhlt man ein erstklassiges Gesamtpaket das …. einfach direkt funktioniert wie es verspricht. (Erst recht im Vergleich mit der blichen Software fr jeglicher Art an “Gaming Hardware”)
Gamechange
Egal ob Flugsimulation oder Racing, der Eyetracker ist ein aboluter Gamechanger und definitiv eine perfekte (!) Alternative zur VR-Brille ( man sitzt nicht komplettabgeschottet von der Umwelt)
Einfach Klasse!
Ich nutze den tracker fr Star Citizen und bin begeistert. Super einfache Installation und das Produkt arbeitet sehr genau!
Durch den tracker wird das Spielen viel realistischer. Definitiv eine Kaufempfehlung!
I use this for American truck simulator. Its a little weird getting used to it, but when you do its pretty awesome. The mounting system could be improved. I ended up gluing 2 magnets to the back of it and then stuck it on the bottom of my monitor with no issues.

It works on my 32 inch monito
I was completely satisfied with this product when I was using it on my 27 inch monitor. I recently switched to at 32 inch monitor and got the mounting kit for the Tobii Eye Tracker 5 and attached it to my new monitor. It seems to still work with ~90% with the eye tracking. I noticed when I was setting the eye tracker that the dots were not on the very edge of the monitor. In Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, it works well. The head tracking works perfectly fine and the eye tracking works for most of the monitor, except for an inch or so around the edges. It really adds to making the game more immersive.
I wonder if there is a way for Tobii to have the software have a choice for monitor sizes. That would be ideal so customers can have more choice and have 100% functionality.
Le meilleu
Rien mettre sur la tte et d’une prcision indniable, avoir pour les heux de simulation!
Excelle
Vraiment rvolutionnaire ce priphrique, je m’en sert pour le moment que sur Star Citizen, c’est un game changer, le pilotage et combat dans l’espace et atmo sont vraiment immersif, je recommande.
Tobii Eye Tracke
prodotto fantastico, funziona benissimo ed facile da installare su MSFS
Es un equipo de gran utilidad y de excelente calidad.
Es un dispositivo de gran utilidad en juegos tales como American Truck simulator y Eurotruck simulator 2. Arma por citar otro ejemplo.
Es sencillo de instalar y hasta divertido ajustarlo en el juego. A diferencia de TrackIr te liberas del dispositivo de cabeza.
Si realmente quieres disfrutar de lo inmersivo del juego lo debes tener.
Se nota su calidad y el cuidado en su fabricacin.
I’ve used the Tobii for flight sim games (DCS World specifically) for the last year. The eye tracking is precise and steady – much better than I had expected. Response time is fast enough that I don’t feel like I’m “dragging” it around the cockpit, but YMMV depending on your hardware specs.
You’ll probably need to use the Flex Mount kit for most modern monitors, which is my biggest complaint. It’s designed to be mounted dead-center on the bottom of your monitor . . . right where you often have the monitor’s control buttons. On the bright side, it can handle a slight offset from center.
The Tobii uses active IR to track your eyes, which can be strenuous. Even though the IR is invisible, it took a few sessions for my eyes to get used to the Tobii. Plan for about five or six game sessions building up from 15min to 30, 60, 90, 120 etc. Protip I found was to peg my monitor refresh rate in a multiple of 60hz (the tobii’s IRs flash at 60hz). Admittedly that could be a placebo effect, but 120hz felt a lot more comfortable than 144
Fácil de usa
Se instala automticamente, se calibra y se usa en pocos minutos.
Lo ms pronto posible hay que dedicarle un interruptor por el teclado, para los momentos de arreglos y de calma en tu juego. Tambin reducir la sensibilidad a los movimientos de ojos. Se maneja mejor con la cabeza (estoy en Microsoft Flight Simulator)
Das Teil zu installieren war schon (fr Laien) ein wenig fummelig. Die Anleitung zur Installation befindet sich lediglich als Aufdruck auf der Verpackung! Dafr wurden die Garantiebestimmungen auf gefhlt 200 gefalteten Zetteln in ebenso vielen verschiedenen Sprachen gedruckt, Platz fr eine bebilderte” Anleitung war da wohl nicht mehr gewesen. Na ja, egal. Es funktionierte schlielich auch so. Ein USB-Verlngerungskabel ist mit dabei, so dass gengend Spielraum zum Anschluss an den PC verbleibt. Laut Tobii soll Windows 11 den Tracker nach dem Einstpseln in einen USB-Port erkennen und installieren — dass geschah bei mir allerdings nicht. Auf der Webseite von Tobii erhlt man in diesem Fall den Hinweis, dass man zuerst die Software Tobii Experience” aus dem MS-Store laden und installieren soll. Das war allerdings nicht so einfach, denn der Download wurde im Store mehrfach verweigert oder als fehlgeschlagen angezeigt (keine Ahnung, woran es lag). Auf der Webseite gibt es diese Software kurioserweise nicht. Das verstehe wer will, ich nicht. Nach dem 25. Versuch des Ladens der Software aus dem Store gelang es dann endlich, die Installation war in der Folge zgig und der Eyetracker wurde letztendlich auch vollstndig erkannt bzw. konnte ber die Software einfach kalibriert werden. Ich nutze ihn nur im MSFS 2020 und will ihn dort nicht mehr missen. Er funktioniert tadellos, auch bei mir als Brillentrger. Ein groartiges, neues Gefhl des virtuellen Fliegens. Im MSFS gibt es in den Control Options” einen eigenen Einstellungsbereich fr den Eyetracker, so dass jeder individuell nach seinem Geschmack das Gert konfigurieren kann. Nach ein wenig ausprobieren ist das gewnschte Setup dann auch schnell gefunden. Fr den -in meinen Augen- allerdings viel zu hohen Preis und die unntig umstndliche Installation gibt es einen Stern weniger.
I bought this for use with MSFS 2020, and it makes a huge difference in game/sim immersion. I had considered a TrackIR for years, but really didn’t like the idea of having to mount reflectors on a headset or hat to make it work. The Tobii is quite accurate with both head, and eye movements without having to use these reflectors.
It takes a few tries (10-15 minutes) to get the Tobii configured in MS Flight Simulator to behave the way YOU want it to. Some people like a “dead zone” and some people don’t. Same thing for auto-centering. You set up the sensitivities for pitch, yaw, roll, etc to match what you like. There is a little bit of adjusting YOURSELF to get comfortable with the head-tracking part over-emphasizing movements (a turn of your head 45 degrees moves the view by 90 degrees) and the eye -tracking which is a 1-to-1 movement. A few minutes of flying and you mentally make the adjustment.
Some people don’t like the eye tracking for some flight games, but these are more often for the fast paced, jet shoot-em-ups where the head and eye movements are rapid. For MS Flight Simulator, the pace is more sedate and I find it great to be able to glance over at an instrument and have the Tobii recognize that and move to it. I am very impressed with this technology. The Tobii is well made (of aluminum, I believe) and quite sturdy.
The ONE complaint I have (and I am not alone in this) is the mounting system. It has to be mounted under the monitor to work, and that is OK. But you have to stick the mount to the bottom of your monitor using a double-sided sticky tape. After about a month or so, this tape started coming loose. Apparently this is a common issue. I have re-taped the mount to my monitor, but fully expect the Tobii to start “drooping” again.
To summarize, while it is more expensive than a TrackIR, I think this is well offset by not having to use reflectors, and the additional functionality of the eye tracking.
Tobii eye tracker 5
Fantastic bit of kit , I use it for msfs 2020 and not disappointed, very easy to set up and calibrate , quite expensive but worth it in my opinion.
Brings flying alive
Bought for husband who loves it. He had to persevere with calibration but now enjoys the flying experience. Couldn’t use vr because of eye issues and prefers the ability to use a joystick and controls as well. Excellent birthday present!
Great product for head tracking, flight sim
Bought for my son for Christmas he loves it and uses it for Flight Sim. Would recommend
Great item
Use on simulations and its a great thing…dont want to go down the VR route so this help a lo
Install sans difficult, la suite logicielle ne suit pas et doit tre tlcharge en ligne car non fournit.
Aprs beaucoup d’change avec le support, retour arrire vers Windows 10 car trop mauvaise gestion des port USB sur Windows 11 et fonctionnement erratique de Eyetracker.
Par rapport au track Ir, que je possde galement:
– Pas ncessaire de porter un casque ou une casquette pour mettre les rflecteurs TrackIR
– Fonctionne trs bien mme pour les porteur de lunettes
– Ajoute le mouvement des yeux celui de la tte, ce qui augmente la prcision et permet d’avoir 2 actions au lieu d’une avec le TrackIR
– A noter nanmoins une plus grande latence dans la ractivit que le TrackIR.
– Ne fonctionne que sous l’cran, impossible de le positionner au dessus.
Trs bonne qualit de fabrication hormis l’attache collante du support qui ne tient pas ds qu’il fait chaud. J’ai du la coller avec une colle plus forte.
Awesome head + eye tracker !! Working flawlessly with DCS World and MSFS 2022, no issues whatsoever.

Only thing I wouldve liked, was extra mounting tape and a long USB extensio

Original Halter leider nicht ganz so gu
Das Gert ansich ist mega gut, leider taugt die original Halterung nicht, man muss genau berlegen wie man sie klebt. Bei meinem Monitor (Samsung) ist der Ein/Ausschalter direkt mittig unten da wo der tobii installiert werden soll, muss man den Halter nochmal abnehmen weil es nicht passt zum Schalter ist der Kleber dann leider hinber und der Halter somit unbrauchbar.
Perfekt für MS FS 2020
Dieses Stck Hardware hebt das Fluggefhl im FS auf ein ganz neues Niveau. Nicht ganz billig, spart aber 2 weitere Monitore auf dem Tisch. Fr mich der beste Kauf in 2022.
Carina l’idea, ma inutile per molti giochi
L’ho provato una settimana, l’idea era carina.. riprodurre in streaming cosa osserviamo e guardiamo pu essere interessante ma alla lunga stanca e pu creare disturba a chi guarda la live.
Su alcuni giochi pu interagire, su molti completamente inutile. E costa pure abbastanza, quindi ho deciso di restituirla.
Nice for smaller displays, as noted
Treid this with my LG C1 48″ OLED and it is definitely too big. I also have glasses and that may have impacted the tracking, but I couldn’t get this to function as well as I wanted.
I am also fairly sensitive to input lag, and this certainly had a noticeable amount. This could definitely be because of the big display + distance I was sitting from it, but I’ve heard other users mention input lag as a turn-off for this product.
Overall, it’s really neat and I wish I could use it! Hopefully a future version supports bigger displays and lower processing time / input lag.
Almost as good latency as a TIR5. Would love to see some improvements and more compatibility across games.
Le top du top
Produit gnialissime pour tout type de joueur ! avec les jeux adapter pour ! et ils finissent par tre nombreux.
Exeptionnel!
Must have pour les jeux de simulation!
Article de qualit, dans un emballage premium, ce qui fait tjrs plaisir.
Installation et configurations aises.
Ex sur Euro Truck Simulator 2: les rglages par dfaut proposs par le jeu sont gniaux! Bouger la tete pour changer rapidement de vue, bouger les yeux pour changer doucement! C’est simplement extra!
Génial ;)
Livraison rapide et colis en bon tat.
Un grand plus pour l’immersion en jeu (vrifier les titres compatible). Test et adopt sur Star Citizen.
Juste faire attention entre la distance cran -> tte (maximum 90cm).
Et n’est pas compatible avec tout les tailles d’cran en fonction de leur ratio : Maximum of 27″ for 16:9 aspect ratio and 30″ for 21:9.
Amazing for MSFS2020 A must have! Its VR without motion sickness and bulky headsets and no 3D ofc.
Ready to go out the box everything included amazing for simulator games which it supports hundreds of games. Dont listen to negative reviews on youtube the only bad ones come from TrackIR sponsors.
Ottimo
Prodotto veramente ottimo.
Rileva il movimento degli occhi persino con scarsa luce.
Nei giochi che lo permettono, come euro truck Simulator o american truck Simulator, rileva anche il movimento della testa, rendendolo assolutamente indispensabile.
Works well
This is an eye and head tracker not a camera and works well in games.
As a wherhouse purchase sadly some bits wee missing but offered extra discount.
With import intent the uk prices have gone up so what should be Value for money is a luxury item.
Otherwise a fantastic piece of kit, works in star citizen.
the eye tracking is brillia
Theirs nothing to dislike about this product. its actually an amazing bit of kit. I play star citizen and this changed the game for me. I come from a vr background so microsoft simultor, DCS, Elite Dangrous and so on. im a person that needs to live the experance with star citizen not supporting vr right now i looked for head tracking sofware. i was in two minds about trackIR and tobii. after doing the research i took my chances with tobii eye tracker. instlation was a breeze then i turned on the ghost tracking and it pinpointed every eye moment i made on the screen. its that impressing it could replace a mouse. add that to head momentent and star citizen became a world i lost myself in. I was in dog fights and could see every moment of my enemys ship. i could land my ship with ease. Even on those train rides i found myself looking around to take in the sights.
Plus pratique qu'un TrackIR
Tobii Eye Tracker 5
Cette barre amovible (magntique) est plus pratique qu’un TrackIR car il n’est plus ncessaire de porter quelque chose sur la tte, de plus les LEDS infrarouge pallies au manque de luminosit. Cette barre intgre une mini camra pour la reconnaissance facial, ce qui vous vitera d’avoir saisir votre mot de passe chaque reboot de votre PC. Mais ce produit manque de notorit notamment dans les jeux, donc ne jetez pas votre vieux TrackIR. Un Tobii, un TrackIR, et une camra HD, a commence faire du monde sur ma Tl !
C’est livr avec un support en deux parties, l’une coller (sur ou sous) l’cran, et l’autre est pourvu de velcro et d’aimants. Le support une fois fix peut tre lgrement orient verticalement. Je recommande ce produit mme s’il est vendu au prix du caviar.
Top! Produkt hält, was es verspricht!
Ich verwende den Eyetracker fr ATS und ETS2. Ich bin einfach nur begeistert von dem Produkt. Hochwertige, robuste und dadurch langlebige Verarbeitungsqualitt.
Die Software-Installation bzw. Kalibrierung ist ein Kinderspiel.
Einen Nachteil gibt es fr Curved Displays von HUAWEI. Da sich der Einschaltknopf bei meinem Monitor genau in der Mitte unter dem Monitorrahmen befindet, lsst sich das Flexmount leider gar nicht anbringen. Habe mir daher eine Ersatzkonstruktion unter Verwendung der mitgelieferten Originalverpackung und einem Metall mount gebaut, welche unterhalb des Monitors genau mittig platziert wurde. Funktioniert einwandfrei. Sitze mehr als 60 cm von dem Eyetracker entfernt und trotzdem erkennt der Tracker meine Kopfbewegungen in ATS und ETS2 problemlos. Zum Preis: Nicht billig, aber zum Konkurrenzprodukt IRTracker eindeutig fr mich persnlich die bessere Wahl, da ich keine Kappe anziehen bzw. ein Headset mit zustzlichen nervigen Kabeln tragen muss.
Klare Kaufempfehlung.
Eye Tracker gut, Halterung für den Müll!
Der EyeTracker mscht das was er soll und das auch gut. Der Preis ist knackig da er ja wirklich nur auf Eye und Headtracking begrenzt ist.
Die mitgelieferte Plastikhalterung ist der letzte Mll. Der Kleber von den Klettstreifen lst sich sofort bei Wrme. Soll ja vorkommen, dass Monitore auch mal warm werden. Egal er das sich das ausgedacht hat, ich hoffe die Person wurde entlassen.
Im Angebot unter 200 trotzdem zu empfehlen.
It's a Game Change
If you are fed up slipping on a VR Headset for games such as Euro Truck then this is your answer – absolutely fantastic piece of kit and works really well in the games that I have personally tried it on which includes ETS2 Valhalla and Far Cry
Having used trackIR in the past and also having used an Oculus Quest 2 for my Flight Simulator 2020 I feel the Tobii is the perfect compromise.
The TrackIR you always had to place something on your head with wires to your pc if you used the powered IR lights.
The VR route is by far the most immersive option but with the oculus quest 2 at least its a bit hit or miss with the connection making starting a game with it a bit of an ordeal.
Tobii just sits there… and once you start a supported game it just works! There is the usual sensitivity tweaking per game ofcourse but thats fine.
I so far used it in:
Flight Simulator 2020
Star Citizen
Far Cry 6
Warning for Flight Simulator 2020: If you have, like me another VR device installed you have to de-install everything that looks like a VR driver or program I found out otherwise the Tobii menu under options>controls does not appear or one menu called trackIR. This feels like a typical Microsoft Bug.. It worked fine with Star Citizen and Farcry with my Quest installed.
Suivi occuliare pour votre ordinateu
Utilisez votre retine pour actionn votre souris, il y a pleins d’applications possibles visitez leur site pour dcouvrir ce produit et surtout trs pratique en jeux vido pour viser ou regarder au alentour sans utiliser la souris pour les jeux de voiture ou tire c’est excellent mais demande quelques rglages pour une utilisation optimale. C’est assez simple d’utilisatio
Top
Fhlt sich sehr qualitativ an, Einrichtung ist in Sekundenschnelle fertig und luft 1a
Great product use it everyday
I use this product for my personal computer as well as to play my favourite games
Mighty Impressive!!!
Much better than my old track ir5 Took some tweaking in Star Citizen setting for it but nailed it now, absolutely cannot play it without. It’s more expensive than I would have liked though.
Immersiv.
Immersion top! Gute Verarbeitung und erfllt seinen Zweck anstandslos. Fr z.B Star citizen ein enormer Gewinn.
great stuff! I can only recommend it, it feels like having color television, having watched black/white tv all your life.
great stuff! I can only recommend it, it feels like having color television, having watched black/white tv all your life.
Brilliant for streaming and gaming purposes
I am a twitch streamer and a player of star citizen, the interaction with chat is great, aswell as having the ability for looking around the cockpit of whichever ship im piloting is a huge help for both dogfights and landing/ takeoff. Highly recomend for both streamers and star citizen players
FS2020 - 43 Zoll und 49 Zoll (Samsung Odyssey G9) kein Problem
Da es schon etliche Rezensionen zum Tobii Eye Tracker 5 gibt, beschrnke ich mich auf zwei kleine Besonderheiten:
Funktioniert Tobii Eye Tracker auch mit GROSSEN Monitoren?
Ja, nahezu tadellos. Ich habe an meinem PC einen Gigabyte Aorus FV43U ( 16:9 4K, 43 Zoll) und einen Samsung Odyssey G9 (32:9 5K 49 Zoll). Beide Monitore liegen deutlich auerhalb der Empfehlung des Herstellers. Auf beiden Monitoren funktioniert das Eyetracking wunderbar. Beim 43 Zoll werden lediglich blicke in den uersten Ecken, also evtl. 3-4cm von der Ecke entfernt ungenau erkannt. Der Rest geht sehr genau.
Beim 49 Zoll mit 32:9 Format wird es etwa in den letzten 10% der Flche zu den Rndern hin schwierig. Der Rest geht auch hier tadellos. Im Spiel merkt man davon berhaupt nichts.
Bei so groen Monitoren, wie nah muss ich da dran sitzen?
Ich sag mal “normaler” Abstand gengt. Bei meinem 43 Zoll Monitor sitze ich etwa 100-120cm (Abstand Augen zum Bildschirm) und bei meinem 49 Zoll eta 75-95 cm entfernt. In beiden Fllen habe ich aber nach hinten nicht wirklich noch Spielraum, bis die Augen-Erkennung abbricht. Headtaracking, also Kopfbewegung geht noch ein ganzes Stck weiter entfernt.
Wie gut funktioniert der Tracker im Microsoft Flight Simulator (FS2020)
Zunchst einmal empfehle ich, fr das Umsehen im FS2020 (auch DCS) das Eyetracking zu deaktivieren (ja wirklich!) und die Blicke nur mit Headtracking zu steuern. Tobii 5 wird also nur als Headtracker genutzt. Mir persnlich ist es zu nervig, wenn das Bild bei minimalen Augenbewegungen jedesmal mitgeht. Reines Headtracking ist fr sehr genaue Blicksteuerung (rechts links oben unten) vollkommen ausreichend und bereichert die Flugsimulation absolut. Man kann seinen Blick sehr genau damit z.B. auf die Landebahn richten und diese verfolgen, whrend man im Queranflug ist.
Headtracking im Raum (also auch durch Kopf nach vorne gehen nher an Instrumente heranrcken) ist noch ein recht neues Feature und teils noch etwas ungenau. Zumindest kam es bisher immer wieder zu Problemen, wenn ich z.B. nahe an die Instrumente blicke und danach meinen Kopf wieder zurck nehme. Oft ist dann die Position im Cockpit nicht mehr in Ausgangslage. Ich behelfe mir damit, auf dem Joke einen Knopf fr den “Blick-Reset” zu haben.
Ich habe auch einen IR-Headtracker. Natrlich sind die etwas genauer. Aber ich wrde sagen, tobii 5 kommt schon zu 95% an den IR headtracker ran und ich brauche kein extra Equipment am Kopf.
Raum nur 4 und nicht 5 Sterne?
Mir fehlt eine Mglichkeit, den Eyetracker bei Nichtgebrauch softwareseitig zu deaktivieren. Die roten Lampen brennen dauerhaft. Man muss also wirklich den USB Stecker ziehen. Ich hoffe, hier kommt noch ein Update.
Fazit:
Groe Bildschirme sind kein Problem. Fr FS2020 und DCS bin ich von IR-Tracker auf Tobii Eyetracker 5 gewechselt und sehr zufrieden damit.
Viel Qualität für viel Geld
Der Tobii Eye Tracker 5 ist so ziemlich das teuerste Produkt dieser Klasse auf dem Markt. Dafr bekommt man hardwareseitig auch ein wertiges Produkt und keinen Plastikmll.
Aufbau und Einrichtung ist problemlos in wenigen Minuten erledigt. Das Produkt funktioniert nach einer kurzen Kalibrierung problemlos in untersttzer Software. Mchte man das Gert jedoch perfekt auf sich abstimmen, muss man in jeder Software, die den Eye Tracker verwendet, separat einiges an Zeit investieren, um alles fr sich persnlich einzustellen.
Nach abgeschlossener Einstellung funktioniert das Gert super. Head- und Eye Tracking funktioniert sehr gut, ganz ohne Sensoren am Krper zu tragen, wie es bei konkurrierenden Produkten zumeist der Fall ist. Dass beide Funktionen in einem Gert untergebracht sind, scheint der Trackingqualitt keinen Abbruch zu tun. Auch optisch strt das Gert, letztlich nur eine schmale Leiste, das am Monitor anzubringen ist, nicht. Ob das den im Vergleich zur Konkurrenz doch recht hohen Preis rechtfertigt, muss jeder selbst entscheiden – fr mich ist dem jedenfalls so.
Totally upgraded ETS2!
I love trucking sims and this sweet little add on just totally revamped the game for me muck about with the settings to your heart’s content but once you get used to head tracking you’ll have it set on maximum yaw and tilt anyway brilliant bit of kit!
Klasse Gadge
Nicht ganz billig, aber definitiv ist es die Anschaffung wert. Ich spiele Flugsimulatoren und hierfr einfach klasse. Deutlich dem TrackIR berlegen, da sowohl Kopf- als auch Augentracking mglich und alles ohne weiter Hilfsmittel wie Basecaps o. . Regiert sehr przise und zuverlssig. Die Einstellmglichkeiten sind gerade beim MSFS2020 vielfltig. Von mir aus: Daumen hoch.
Two years of daily use - pretty decent overall
I initially purchased this for its headtracking feature as an alternative to TrackIR, however I have used the eye tracking feature in supported games too. I’ve owned this for almost two years now, so it’s fair to say I have used enough to review it.
At this price range you basically have two options for tracking, you have TrackIR which involves an infrared camera and reflectors you have to wear attached to a hat or headset. The second option is this, the Tobii Eye Tracker 5 which involves mounting the device under your primary monitor. It’s worth saying that you can only use it on your primary monitor (I personally have two monitors) but this shouldn’t be an issue unless you play sim games stretched 3 monitors. There is also a max supported monitor size of 27 inch (30 inches with ultrawide) but you can use it with monitors which are bigger – it’s just not “officially supported”. I initially got it for Euro Truck Simulator 2 which it worked pretty well for, headtracking was as good as I could expect. I also use it a lot for Star Citizen, Microsoft Flight Simulator and DCS World. I used it on those games before it was even officially supported using a workaround. Game compatibility has gotten much much better over the past few years, at the start I almost had to always set it up myself (using Facetracknoir, it simulates it being TrackIR for games that only support TrackIR. This is what you use for games which don’t support the eye tracker directly but do support TrackIR).
On quality of tracking I’ve been pretty impressed, especially with head tracking. It can do head tracking with 6 DOF (same as TrackIR, so it can sense every direction) and eye tracking is useful for extended view, however you’ll probably use head tracking a lot more. Streamers have a few things with being able to show what you’re looking at on stream, I tried it once with a few friends on discord and it worked fine but I’m not a streamer so it’s not something I used much. Immersion wise you really need to use some sort of tracking feature in games like Elite Dangerous, Star Citizen or any simulator really. Being able to move your head to look around improves your immersion and gameplay so much. I use a joystick setup in flight/space simulators so being able to just look at targets instead of having to move a camera with my hat stick makes it so much easier and it feels more natural.
I’ve also had it set up with Windows Hello and it has worked flawlessly since the day I got it. You set it up in windows settings and your PC will wake in seconds if you’re in front of it, no complaints here at all.
So why did I take away a star? The tracker stopped working a few weeks ago, while I’m still under warranty and it is being replaced this is something to be aware of. It’s not an isolated incident, many on Discord were complaining about the same thing and also got replacements. They are replacing all units affected so it isn’t too big of a deal, more just annoying as you do have to pay for your own return shipping and it takes a while. It might be fixed with newer units anyway, I got this pretty much at launch.
Another thing is note is while game compatibility has gotten better, they do have to buy a special license from Tobii to be able to use the tracker in their own games which not all will do. For games which don’t support the tracker directly, try using it with Facetracknoir and search up a few tutorials on how to set it up. I used it for Star Citizen for months before official support and it worked fine. Eye tracking won’t work with it though, only head (but lets be honest, you want this for head tracking more than eye if you’re gaming).
Overall I would recommend this product, it adds a level of immersion that is only beaten by VR. Just be aware it will involve setup on your end (you will need to likely adjust settings on each game to get it perfect) and some troubleshooting if it goes wrong. If you’re someone who wants things to “just work”, look into TrackIR as that is much more mature. This is a much more elegant solution compared to having to wear reflectors on your head though and windows hello is really useful.
(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 I'd bought one years ago. Best gaming purchase since my HOTAS. Five stars, all the way to Beagle Pointe.

op
fonctionne parfaitement bien ! Mon mari est ravi de son cadeau !
Impressionna
Vraiment trs impressionnant.
Le kit de fixation l’cran est fournis avec, plus une rallonge usb3 dont je ne me sert pas (j’ai 2 ports usb3 sur l’cran, donc 1 pour la webcam pour la fois (expressions du visage en temps rel) et l’autre pour le eye tracker.
Le tout ragis vraiment bien, je l’utilise pour starcitizen, j’ai dj du mal porter un casque audio, donc les autres marques trackir, qui obligent porter un ustensile en + sur la tte avec un fil ne me plaisait pas beaucoup. l, pas de cble, rien, il ragit aux mouvements de la tte et celui des pupilles, vraiment bien pour starcitizen qui prends en charge les 2 simultanment en jeu, donc a veut dire que l’on peut tourner la tte tout en fixant quelque chose, l’cran ne fait pas n’importe quoi.
Un seul dfaut le prix, a reste un gadget pour de la simulation.
Mais je recommande quand mme !
I'm using this with my MSFS 2020. Works great. Some of the best packaging I've seen. Appears well constructed. Inclusion of extension USB cable was great idea. Easy to install and configure. All it took was to focus eye movement on several dots where they appeared on-screen. Easy to disable when the eye motion becomes "too much" as it occasionally does.

Es macht das was es soll.
32:9 Funktion Star citizen top nicht ganz bis zum Rand
Funktion 32:9 Fast volle funktion bei Star citizen.
Ca. 10cm am Rand wird es Etwas Ruckeln, da er deine Augen nicht mehr bis dort hin kalebrieren kann.
Aber aus meiner Sicht volle funktion um die Displays im chiff zu sehen.

Bought it for ED, it delivers.
I bought it for the sole purpose to use it with Elite Elite Dangerous. And it delivers, it feels like natural extension to this game, like it should be in there by default (kinda hard to imagine not playing this game without it, now that i have it.)
I own 27′ inch monitor, and it works perfectly with it, and i sit around 1m away from screen, and it tracks my eyes and head with no problem.
There is perhaps 0,1ms lag/delay between the device and with what happens on the screen, cuz it needs to calculate all ya movment etc, but thats understandable.
I very quickly got used to it, and it really dosent inflaunce exp in any negative way, it becomes very natural, its just another way for player to communicate with game.
The apps that need to be downloaded from ms store, “tobii exp”, and “tobii gaming”, are mandatory, and they have to be run in background while playing, so that Elite could work with eyetracker itself (there is a lot of options in tobii gaming app, to modify/tweak eyetracker settings for Elite and other games, and they are set by default in very good way. I tweaked em just a little bit to my personal liking.)
Are there cons? Well, device comes at the stip price (yes yes the inner scrooge) Is it nessessary for being good at the game? Ofc not, eytracking is really nice addition, it will increase your situational awareness, but it wont make u a MVP lol, and it also helps with ImMeRsIoN.
Its like “budget” VR, without VR, kindoff.
Its like cherry on top, especially if u use HOTAS, *french chef kiss*
It is expensive, but this isn't a plastic part, the body is metallic and sturdy, it works great for gaming, DCS is what I bought it for, it's better than my trackir for sure, less hassle and no need for caps etc but you do need to be closer to the screen ie at full arm extension the throttle and stick would need to be at an "on the desk" distance, also works great in third person games like tomb raider, it bridges the gap between controller and mouse control for aiming. Also for work on my large monitor simply jiggling the mouse brings the cursor to wherever I'm looking, wouldn't have thought that would be so useful but it is.

Setup with msfs2020 is easy. Just turn on TrackIR in the app. Documentation could have been better. I had to do some searching for what I needed, but it wasn’t too hard to find. In msfs it works, but isn’t fast to respond. TrackIR5 is much more sensitive, which is not always good. Eye tracking seems hit and miss. In msfs there are no adjustments available. On the other hand, it doesn’t require a lot of tweaking like TIR5. It has a lot of potential. The biggest plus is that it is conpletely hands/head free. I am slowly getting used to using it. I hope to eventually be able to increase my rating.
1/7/22 Update: As promised I am adding a 4th star. Apparently the MSFS fix took care of the disconnect issue. Used it most of the day and had no issues with Tobii whatsoever. I am actually liking it a lot and don’t miss the 6 degrees of movement that my other head tracker has (in MSFS Tobii is limited to 3 right now). In fact I find it easier to use without all the extra moving. It would be nice to be able to lower the sensitivity just a little, but overall it is now a solid operator in MSFS2020, once I got the positioning adjusted correctly. I did recalibrate a few times in the app, which may or may not have helped. Now I can definitely recommend it.
1/6/22 Update: Con- I am on the verge of returning it. Yesterday it kept disconnecting from MSFS2020. It stayed powered on, but MSFS turned it off in the game, and would not let me reactivate it (the software button would not move in the settings). I tried some troubleshooting tips from Tobii without success. So I started the refund process.
Pro- Today MSFS2020 put out a big bug update. Among the fixes is mentioned TrackIR (they only use the Tobii in their software now- other trackers work outside of it). So far it is working, but I haven’t run everything I ran before…yet. Prior to yesterday I found that raising my monitor height and adjusting the tilt on the Tobii sensor bar greatly increased the sensitivity. I have been pleased with how it works now (when it stays connected). I like it much better than my other name brand tracker.
Conclusion- I am neither raising nor lowering my 3 star rating for now. If it continues to disconnect, I will still return it. If it stays connected and continues to be as responsive as it is now, I will give it another star. Time will tell. There are a lot of gamers who like it, and a lot who are having problems. Trying to stay optimistic!
It's a delivery complaint.
I’m satisfied with the product.
However, there are many complaints about the delivery service.
Despite the high price of the product, it was delivered so that it was treated as a regular mail rather than a parcel at the time of delivery, and as a result, the product was delivered to the mailbox without being delivered directly to me. It’s an expensive product, but if it’s delivered to the mailbox like this, there’s a risk of loss, and it’s not easy to recognize whether the product has been delivered or not. I’m very dissatisfied with this.
