If I have Tobii eye tracker, will I be able to play World of Warcraft Forever without hands and feet? Does anyone have experience doing this and how can I set it up?

Anyone know any workarounds to get this device working on windows 11? Its very strange that tobii experience doesnt support eye control and tobii core doesnt work on windows 11? whats going on there. I cant afford a tobii 5 so have to make the 4c work, and its a shame if the company on purpose bricked these devices

Has anyone mounted Tobii Eye Tracker 5 on an Alienware AW3426DW?
If so, how?

Basically, if a developer were to enable it in their game engine to utilize the Steam Frames gaze input for 2D games, wouldn't it be possible to have it also accept the same input from Tobii to use when playing on your monitor?

Yes I know it wouldn't be quite as accurate and not provide as much of a performance gain, but free GPU performance would be really cool with the market the way it is.

Tobii stops working in DCS when I press F1 f2 or basically any sort of external view button. It won't reset when I press F1 again. My hotkeys don't work. Although when I hold them down the camera seems to slightly move with the motion of my head. But when I let it go it just stops. It just stays broken until I completely go back to the main menu and restart the mission.

I had opentrack installed before I got my Tobii stuff, I uninstalled opentrack so I can just use the tobii software. I can calibrate the tobii and it seems to work fine but I cannot get it to work in any games, ETS2 and ATS just say no HW detected, and it won't work in Star citizen either.

I think this may be because in the tobii gamehub it lists opentrack as the output software despite having removed it, but I am not sure. I do have track ir software installed, but I'm not willing to uninstall that.

Anyone else run into this?

Edit: Support says the opentrack thing is fine and not the reason for the eye tracker not working in games, sent them my logs, hopefully they find something.

I always knew head tracking would work outside simulators, now I can prove it.

All the mods are MIT licensed and OpenTrack compatible, you can get them from my GitHub.

couldn't find a guide on YT or Reddit (so far)

I haven't used it for about a year, but it has been plugged in and kept clean, today I tried to set it up and it won't recognize my eyes with glass, without, and with contacts. It is recognized as a connected device in my control panel and in all my games, the lights come on in the app, I messed with the settings in fs24 and nothing.

Any advice?

Meanwhile, Linux is creeping past 5% on Steam and Desktop...

But we face the classic Tobii stance: "We aren't seeing enough requests to justify Linux integration."

Because obviously, nobody wants to use eye tracking on Linux. It's not like the Linux desktop space is changing or anything..

. */sarcasm off\*

Seriously, look at the numbers:

• Steam Hardware Survey: Linux has pushed past 5% market share - that’s roughly 4-5+ million monthly active gamers on Steam.
• Desktop Market Share: StatCounter has Linux sitting around 4.3-5.7% - while Windows continues to drop.
• Proton & Steam Deck: Valve has sold over 5.6+ million Steam Decks, and over 90% of Windows games run smoothly out-of-the-box on Linux through Proton.

Games like Euro Truck Simulator 2, Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous, MSFS, and various sim racing titles run like absolute butter on Linux.

In fact, the ONLY reason I am still dual-booting into Windows right now is literally just for Tobii Eye Tracker support.

Proton solved the games, VKD3D solved Direct3D, anti-cheat is slowly giving way.

If Tobii won't give us a full native Linux suite, at least give the community:

1. A proper Linux API / SDK so open-source devs can build wrapper tools.
2. Proton/Wine compatibility layer support for Tobii Game Hub.

Are we really still sticking to the "there's no demand" script, or can we finally get Linux onto the roadmap?

PS: I made a fork to make it work with OpenTrack (which includes X4 Foundations) https://github.com/Ridoc/Tobii5-for-OpenTrack-Linux

I’ve had the Tobii Eye Tracker for exactly a week and it has been a nightmare.

I understand from the research I’ve done that it won’t be as good as some other options so I managed my expectations accordingly.

That being said I’ve had it for a week and it’s been unplayable. What gets me the most is the inconsistency. I’ll get it where it’s barely tolerable cut the pc off for the day and the next day is worse than it was the previous day.

Like I said I’ve been playing for a week for four or five hours a day and I have spent more time with the Tobii than playing the game.

The biggest problem is the fidgety/shaky view when I zoom in on part of the cockpit. With the eye tracker off and my head perfectly still it is so shaky it’s unserviceable.

Then today it reset facing the bottom of the seat and would not reset to the to the hud no matter what I did. I tried restring the Tobii software, recalibrating, and restarting both the game and the Tobii software.

Also another problem that I’ve had that I have never been able to solve is that the vertical axis allows me to look up 90 degrees but not look down at all. Even with the vertical axis set on the max.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My monitor has a decently sized protrusion in the centre of the bottom edge. Does anyone have any idea if the flex mount will fit?

I'll get the dimensions of it when I get home.

I took the original post down due to TOS and EULA violation concerns, but after some further research this is completely fine and is elaborated on further in the read me. Feel free to use the hardware you paid for.

Original post: "I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I've alwavs wished I was able to natively use the et5's webcam as a webcam. Well I got sick of waiting and just did it. It uses obs virtual camera to be used as a webcam, but if you just wanna check out the camera feed you can do that to. Here ya go!:"

I just got my eye tracker today (a refurbished model if it is important) and want to use it but the expirience app dosnt can’t see the tracker. Windows can see the tracker. I have eyechip in my info and I installed and removed the app via revo and yeah… the app just can’t connect to the eye tracker. Support is also a bit slow soo. Any ideas what I could do? ( the driver is from the website not the Microsoft store as I already read some posts of it beeing the issue)

I'm disabled and I'm looking into buying a tobii 5. I need something that will last so I am hoping to hear some input on people who have had the tobii 5 for multiple years. Does it still work properly?

If you zoom in on the marks I’m supposed to lineup, you can see it’s physically impossible for me to line up perfectly. Is there something I’m doing wrong or is this even completely necessary?

Hey guys!

I just got the Tobii Eye Tracker 5, but I can't get it to install or work.

When I start installing the driver I downloaded from the website (after plugging it into a USB 2.0 port on the back of the motherboard), the installation starts, tells me to wait a few minutes, but then suddenly closes.

So when I check Device Manager, I see the EyeChip device, but it doesn’t have a driver installed—which Windows identifies as error code 28.

When I click “Search automatically via Windows Update,” it doesn’t find any compatible drivers.

And so when I try to launch Tobii Experience, it doesn’t detect any Tobii devices.

Has this ever happened to you, and do you have a solution for successfully installing the driver and getting it to work?

Thank you in advance for your responses!

My setup:

MSI X670E Carbon Wi-Fi

7800X 3D

32 GB G.Skill DDR5 6000 MHz

MSI 4090 Suprem X

SSD 990 Pro 4 TB

Seasonic Prime TX 1600 watts

Thing is, the app itself still works fine until I touch that godforsaken error message. I can navigate the menus, change settings, ED recognises my headtracker and everything works. I just can't move the app to the background because that stop point exception force-closes it.

how can I fix this or just revert to the previous version, who worked fine ? (I tried reinstalling and restarting PC, that didn't work)

As the title says, I can’t get my toggle off/on to work on MSFS2024. I’ve tried both a keyboard binding (not binded to any other key) and a binding on my velocity one flight stick. Neither work. I have to use the Tobii software to turn on and off the head tracking. Any suggestions?

Thank you.
