“Star Citizen and the Tobii Eye Tracker 5 are a match made in heaven! It’s about time for me to take another look at the TET5, and why I think everyone should be considering it!”
The video is a sponsored review of the Tobii Eye Tracker 5, a device that tracks head and eye movement using infrared light. The reviewer mentions that he had purchased the device prior to being sponsored, indicating his genuine interest in it. The setup process is described as simple, involving attaching the tracker to the monitor and downloading the Tobii experience software. Calibration takes a minute or two before getting into gameplay.
In terms of space combat in Star Citizen, the Tobii Eye Tracker 5 enhances the immersion by allowing players to look around their cockpit easily. The reviewer claims that this device is not only beneficial for combat scenarios but for everyone who flies a ship in the game. It is described as plug-and-play, requiring little adjustment and providing a natural and enjoyable experience.
Initially, the reviewer did not like using the device for first-person shooting (FPS) gameplay due to it feeling jiggly and wobbly. However, after trying it again for the video, the reviewer found that the device had improved, with the dead zone tightened and stability increased. While it may not be suitable for all players, the reviewer’s opinion changed, and he plans to keep using it for further testing.
The Tobii Eye Tracker 5 is said to perform well in low-light conditions and is compatible with glasses. The device is stated to have no screen size limitations for head tracking, while eye tracking is accurate up to a 30-inch screen. The reviewer claims that almost everyone who plays Star Citizen would benefit from using the Tobii Eye Tracker 5, as it greatly enhances the immersion and adds a sense of being inside the spaceship. It is recommended as a worthwhile addition to the gaming setup.
The video concludes by emphasizing the reviewer’s positive opinion of the Tobii Eye Tracker 5, even if it were not sponsored content. The device is described as adding “sparkle of magic” to the gameplay experience and is recommended to those who are looking to enhance their Star Citizen experience.
