Daniel Raymond, the voice behind Ray’s Guide, provides updates on CitizenCon. He highlights the sponsorship of his live coverage by the Tobii Eye Tracker 5. The eye tracker offers a special discount for CitizenCon attendees and a contest to win either an eye tracker or Star Citizen starter packages.
The Tobii Eye Tracker 5 enhances gameplay in Star Citizen by providing head and eye tracking capabilities. It allows players to freely look around while maintaining movement and direction. Daniel mainly uses mouse and keyboard in first person and dual sticks in flight, so his comments on the device’s performance are focused on this setup.
The physical design of the Tobii Eye Tracker 5 is a black metal bar with red target lights and lighted dots. It can be easily attached to various devices using adhesive back metal strips. The tracker is connected to the system via a USB cable and does not require any external drivers. Calibration is a simple process, and the device can detect eye movement and head movement accurately.
Daniel recommends mapping the toggle head tracking function to a convenient button for easy control. He also suggests mapping the targeting under reticle function to a flight stick button. One improvement he proposes is adding an outside dead zone for peripheral vision during gameplay.
In addition to the Tobii Eye Tracker updates, Daniel provides information on CitizenCon. He mentions that the updated show floor plan confirms a secret Hands-On area focused on playing live in Pyro. The planetary team has been working on building planets, implying that Pyro may be complete and polished. Daniel also discusses logistics for attendees, such as possible seating arrangements and the nearby hockey game taking place after CitizenCon. Finally, he mentions the ongoing giveaway on his channel for the winner’s choice of a Galaxy, a mining machine, or the new Baram Bazar ship.
