Lastly, Ryan introduces a new feature that allows players to use the Tobii Eye Tracker 5 to scan their faces and create personalized in-game characters. He explains the process of using the tracker during character customization and mentions that more facial features will be added in future patches. He also promotes the ongoing sale of the Tobii Eye Tracker and its benefits for players.
