Tobii Eye Tracker 4C - The Game-changing Eye Tracking Tool for Streaming, PC Gaming & Esports

I was skeptical about the whole immersion in video games, as I saw most VR as gimmicks that need years to fully develop and be the standard for playing video games. But when I read about Tobii, I saw that it requires little to no adaptation to new gear, configuration of different devices nor hassle of any sort. You take the device out of the box and plug it in, it will download the driver and the software and then will walk you through the process of calibrating which is very easy and smooth. The device has support to so many games, and I found that the settings allows for a wide variety of customization to your liking, you can easily go from full eye tracking, head tracking and movement of upper body which will be reflected in the game as following your eyes for aim, head for looking to tracking nothing and providing no actions in game.I played Far Cry 5 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance with Tobii, and despite that each uses Tobii differently, both has incorporated this power of tracking eyes exceptionally well in their games. In Kingdom Come: Deliverance, the game requires hand and sword combats with enemies that can go up to 5 especially in war battles. So the game would need to lock to each target to make the sword fight feel more like the real life of anticipating your opponent moves and countering on the right moment. However giving the number of enemies on screen it may be difficult to focus on only one enemy as all those around you might struck you at the slight chance of opportunity. Tobii gives you an edge in this situation as it allows you great immersion and capability to use your sight to lock on each target just like what you will do in real life. The lock mechanism of the game will shift from one enemy to the other as your gaze shifts from one enemy to the other making the game more realistic, immersive and fun to play. Without Tobii this mechanic will require you to push on the controller stick (or move your mouse violently) to force the gaze to shift to the other enemy as he strike you, which most of the cases end you up with a hit no matter how fast you think you are.Far Cry 5 is a different game as it involves the wielding of not only melee weapons but also firearms. Tobii in Far Cry 5 allows the player to aim their firearms to where they are looking, making the game seems more like the real and eliminate the need to move your mouse or controller to aim. You will also be faster to aim at other player in Far Cry 5 Arena making you a very fast killing machine. Tobii also provides for other functions, like controllering your gun and fangs for hire by simply looking with your eyes at where you want them to go and they will follow suit. Lastly, tagging enemies in Far Cry 5 has become more realistic with Tobii as it will only tag enemies that you have looked at them with your eyes rather than just tagging all enemies in your field of view and make them game feels like playing itself out for you.Overall, I loved the game available with Tobii and have come to love having the help of Tobii in my games. I hope that the library of games will continue to expand and new AAA games will have Tobii supported.

OLD REVIEW (It's crap - doesn't work on windows 10..... )( Will not log me in... )(Really bad compared to the surface book Hello camera. ....(Every update to windows 10 kills the drivers )( .…. etc )OK, So I was pretty harsh. That is what I get by being an early adopter. At the time I bought this, the only way to use a camera to log into windows with your face was to buy the new Surface Book. (Yes I preordered the MS Surface book. Being extremely impressed with the new Windows Hello functionality, I searched for a way to do the same on my desktop. The only solution I could find at the time was the Tobi 4c. While the 4c was made for people who don't have the use of their hands, it also promised to work with "Hello" to log in to my PC. I had a hell of a time getting it to do that. As a Windows insider on the fast track, I was getting almost daily updates to Windows. While there were some updates that got the Tobi working, others broke it again. Eventually Microsoft updates got it working reliably. I have to conclude that the problems were due to the fact that face recognition was new at the time. Since Hello introduced MS drivers for face recognition, they sometimes even caused problems with the eye tracking. After buying the Tobie 4c, I tried other face recognition cameras. I had similar problems with them. Recently I got a couple HD, USB 3.1 cameras with Windows Hello capability, (3d IR face scanning) and had no problems getting them to work with Windows 10. However, they do not do Eye tracking. so,,, I moved the Tobi 4c to my latest computer build. It worked flawlessly first time. !!! magical !!!My apologies for not updating this review earlier. As a personal rule, I don't usually bother with bad reviews. I broke my own rule in this case, and really regret it.I'd like to add that this is a really wonderful product and a really great company. I'd like to thank David Gaal at Tobi Tech support, who never gave up on me and followed through. Such attention to customer support is rare these days.BUY THIS PRODUCT!!! You won't regret it!

Was a wonderful new product. With amazing technology in its simple little sensor bar which you mount below your screen.I do not know how it's able to track my eyes as well as it does. But it does well, in both well lit and poor light settings. I dare say it's magic.....While the system/product is fairly new and exciting technology (only second generation). Keep in mind, the current library of compatible games is limited when compared to veteran products like TrackIR5. But I expect this to grow over time, but not sure of how fast or often older games will be added. More likely to see newer games as they release. Just something to keep in mind...The user interface is really friendly, when you set it up. Each game also uses its own profile/ setting for how the product acts when a game is running.Keep in mind this product is at its heart, eye tracking first with head tracking second. So where ever your eyes are focused your screen will center around that. While that sounds ideal, I noticed my eyes counter acting the screen shifting. So I get into these moments where I am fighting the tracking. (Maybe I didn't setup my glaze tracking correctly. It is possible.) Another problem I had personally, was how well the tracking worked. It followed my every blink. Which as you could imagine affected game play.I would like to the company include the ability to turn off eye tracking while keeping the head tracking active. (Just a thought..)That said, I personally could not get this product to work exactly how I wanted it to, or with my library of games (had only a few I could test for this review.)I am excited to see where this technology goes with its updates and future generations of products. But I would wait a tab bit longer.
