    Hi - just got mine.
    Firstly I couldn't make it work at all. An email to Tobii got a response well within 24 hours and a pointer to what was wrong - I had installed Opentrack. As you say, once uninstalled I was a further step in.
    But then I found that it wasn't working consistently, plugging the USB into a powered hub, but perfect when plugged into an onboard USB slot.
    Getting my computer out of its hutch, then frigging around to get the cord in was a pain - much appreciation for Tobii's forward thinking by enclosing a USB extension cord with the kit.
    Now I love it. Took a little while to calibrate the settings, and video's like this really helped.
    So, thanks for posting this video. It really does help.

I love the, exclude all else, immersion of VR and worry that having the whole of the world outside of my screen might ruin it. Obvious advantage will be the glorious level of detail I will regain running MSFS in pancake mode. Swings and roundabouts.

    I have had this for a few years and love it. With Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 I use it like a head tracker for the main area so when looking down to the instruments it’s steadier than using eye tracking but it will pick up more dramatic eye movements which is great for quick glances down or looking further over my virtual shoulder when I have maxed my head turn. Edit: sometimes I need a double press of the reset button to get the tracker properly centered again, especially after appearing in cockpit from the ready to fly screen.

    I have a Tobii 4 and love the fact I do not have wires or something on my head to deal with. Might not be as exact as TrackIR but never had a complaint with how it works. Playing Ghost Recon or Arma is pretty cool being able to look around as your moving giving me better situational awareness in game. I also set mine up to auto login to Windows as well. After watching your video I had to pull the trigger on upgrading to the 5. Wife won't be happy, may not get good meals for a while, but it'll be worth it😂

    Really considering this since I wear progressive glasses, so when I tilt my head to focus on something, the regular head tracking obviously sees that as movement. So anyone have any experience with Tobii while using progressive lenses? Maybe minimize the head tracking feature to better utilize the eye tracking itself?

  • @nizza594

  • @Phantom840
    @Phantom840 Před rokem

    I'd bought the version 4 a few years ago and continued to use TrackIR 5 in the meantime since I wasn't a fan of the eye tracking as much, but did just pick version 5 up yesterday. Totally different experience, not perfect, but very comparable to TrackIR with smoothness. Only real negatives I can come up with is that it doesn't work for external view in DCS (maybe MSFS as well?) and no official IL-2 support, so you'll need something like FaceTrackNoIR with a plugin. Or just run in VR for IL-2. Otherwise, yeah no headphone clips or extra wires besides one USB is a big plus.

    • @hollywood8327
      @hollywood8327 Před rokem

      The primary advantage, and what you pay more for with tobii is the ability to not need headphones while flying. For those who don't like wearing headphones, tobii is a great option. Tobii also has some exclusive contracts with games outside the sim community like Far Cry where tobii is your only option (despite people begging game developers for literally a couple decades for trackir support in those types of games) But you are correct that in terms of shear performance, trackir paired with an aftermarket head unit is still the better performing option in terms of precision, responsiveness and accuracy. It doesn't have eye tracking but for dcs trackir is the way to go. And even if the tracking were equal, the price isn't. Trackir5 plus an aftermarket pro clip is still cheaper than tobii. So for people willing to pay more to get rid of the headphones it's probably worth it if they're exclusively msfs pilots, but for dcs and especially star citizen, trackir is cheaper and performs better.

      Interesting that you say to uninstall aTrack IR software. I bought one a while ago but couldn’t get it work the way I wanted. It was very sluggish and the eye tracking drove me crazy. Also it would not stay focused on what I was looking at when I disabled eyetracking, it would center itself. That was a no go for me. I’ll give it another try. Thanks!

    I tried the TET5 for about 6 months. Its in a drawer, unused, and I'm back to the hat-switch for looking around. I sit 39 inches from a 48" TV, with Alpha and Bravo peripherals in front of me. The TET5 is unstable, jerky, and very inconsistent. I had none of these issues with TrackIR...but I sold that a couple years ago. I'm hoping a Track-IR 6 is coming soon...
    If TET5 could be mounted high on the TV, it might be better product for me...but as it is, it must be mounted on the bottom...and it just doesn't handle larger monitors well...or, I just sit too far way

      I replied to another dcs comment above, but to reiterate, trackir5 paired with an aftermarket head unit has better accuracy, precision and responsivness than tobii. For the price difference tobii probably isn't the best option for dcs as you lose performance but spend more money. If you fly msfs exclusively where the added precision isn't as vital and really don't like wearing headphones, tobii is probably the option for you.
