ACC is compatible with Tobii Eye Tracker 5

[medioman-ita]

Have you ever tried Tobii Eye Tracker 5 on ACC or AC or in other simulators? Because on the official website (https://gaming.tobii.com/games/) it does not have any driving simulators in the compatibility list, and it is a nonsense and absurd thing not to be able to use it in those games.

I think, but I don't like turning the head at left and look side ways on the right, feels so much fake unatural, triple screen is better

1. No one asked you what you like
2. This also detects eye movement
3 . If you don't know whether it works or not why do you answer? By making me waste my time reading the answer.

it sounds like it should there are youtube videos with it.

so you look at left, and the camera turns left, but you can't look at left end center at the same time...

Of course, I have already searched but have not found anything reliable. In some videos they use another programme

[goblueteam]

yes it sounds like ACC has implemented trackir so i guess some other programs/software may not be as compatible or may take some effort to get working properly.

do not know much about it myself just remember a year or so ago some streamers were talking about it.
although it seems to not be talked about very much anymore so it could be hard to find that much useful information.

Yes I use a tobii 5 face/eyetracker and I use in conjunction with FaceTrackNoIR to get it to work in ACC, iRacing etc.
Get FaceTrackNoIR and the tobii plugin and then it is quite easy to setup and tune to your liking.
I only have the look left/right axis available when I play.

[EDIT]
Does not detect eye tracking in this manner. Not a problem for me as I have to wear varifocal glasses, so head turn is more natural for me and what I would do IRL.

Thank you very much for the explanation. So, if I understand correctly. Tobii Eye Tracker 5 via the FaceTrackNoIR plugin only detects head movement and not eye movement. So eye movement doesn't work on other simulators either?

Thanks for the info, I just dusted off my 13+ year old Track IR system, to try with my new 34 curved screen.

QQ.
1. How hard was it to get it working?
2. What are the additional costs needed for the software systems?
EDIT: just found this video named: _Explained: How To Setup The Tobii Eye Tracker For Sim Racing - Sim Racing Guides_
I thinkcim gonna get it lol

I also have VR.

Track IR gives a different feel and with games like ACC it feels smoother than VR, because ACC don't like it too much (using 4070, 5 series AMD, 32GB ram).

But TrackIR is finicky some times and maybe my unit is toast but it's a bit jumpy Nd you need ro wear a weird set of IR LEDs which tend to move about (mine are taped).

What I'm looking forward to with Tobi 5 is the ability to not needing any more head garments lol.

Do you have trackir5 ?
I have it with pro clip as well. With the pro clip no jumps, even with high sun lights, but you have to wear this clip on a headset.
If I use the gadget on a cap, it can jump a bit but inly with high lights. I usually play with the cap and happy with it.

About tobii it seems to have eye tracking working when looking on youtube but tobii works in conjunction with monitor and not support all kind of monitors like ultrawide. like mine :( and as to be placed on bottom of it. Which is not possible on my simrig.
I also speak with some people that they use it and some of them told me that they now use trackir5 because tobii has not enough tracking precision.

As mentioned earlier, it works like a charm with facetracknoir with the tobii plugin. I recently switched from facetracknoir to opentrack. Opentrack seem a little more userfriendly and doesn't require to install extra plugins.

Tobii V here with FaceTrackNoIR, using left&right but almoost no up/down, however i do have my tobii mounted above my screen (its a pain in the ass to get it to work like this) and this way it wont register my eye movements (unless i look way above my screen in the air).
