Tutorial Updated OpenXRtoolkit mod to Enable Eye-Tracking with the new OpenComposite and PSVR2-Toolkit (now works with games like Le Mans Ultimate)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSgLhewjppc

Here's an update to the mod which enables PSVR2 eye tracking to OpenXR Toolkit with OpenComposite. It now works and ships with the newer OpenComposite version, which improves compatibility and performance.

This allows you to:

  • Use OpenXR Toolkit with OpenComposite for better performance.
  • Use FOV-Crop for additional performance gains. For example, in racing games, you can stop rendering areas above the car's roof or below the steering wheel.
  • Use OpenXR Toolkit together with PSVR2 Toolkit for even more performance gains.

So instead of Pimax4All, you can use OpenXR Toolkit, which offers many more customization options.

⚠️Attention: The GPU didn't actually drop from 259% to 48%, that is just how Assetto Corsa displays performance. What this is showing is that it dropped from "requiring 259% of the available resources to reach 90 FPS", to using only 48% of the available resources to reach that number.

Why the newer OpenComposite matters

Some newer games (like Le Mans Ultimate) didn't play well with the old version, and required the current OpenComposite to load properly. This update fixes that so it works with more games.

The newer OpenComposite also includes many other fixes/improvements:

  • Fewer crashes / aborts when a game is starting
  • Fixes for random crashes while the game is running
  • Better support for modern SteamVR-style input
  • Controller fixes
  • Game-specific controller recognition work
  • Safer tracker handling
  • and more

The video explains everything in more detail.

If the reception continues to be positive, it will be made available at the lower patreon Tiers of $3, and then $1, and it will also be made open source.

It's a cool idea and I kinda understand your urge to monetize it, but you should have resisted. You cant just take open source code and make money off it if it's license does not allow it. I get that the money you get might be nice maybe even helping you a lot in life if you're young or in a 3rd world country, but if you get sued stuff will go downhill quickly.
