“After using Opentrack for a couple of mounthsIi have to admit this software is way more developed and offers a more refined expirence”

“For a cheap eye tracker it's something that finally gave me the ability to use an eye tracker that works with my gaming style. There are still some bugs to work out maybe, but I don't regret purchasing this.”

“Perfeito! A imersão é indescritível. O software simula perfeitamente o olhar ao redor e funciona sem problemas. Não sei como jogava antes meus simuladores sem ele... Recomendadíssimo!!!”
“Using with a Logitech Brio. Requires quite a bit of tweaking with the settings to get it working properly and does not work well in very low light. If you can get through the setup and have at least some light it works…”

“Since the update to no longer use a 3rd party app, this has made it so much easier to setup and use.”
“Recent update made this a 10/10; profiles, shareable profiles and so much more.”
“Been using this for a few months now. Using an Inland 1080p 60fps camera and it works great. The recent updates of not relying on opentrack and implementing user shareable profiles is what this app needed! I use this…”

“I want to like this, and it may be decent for sim racing, but for DCS its pretty useless. No matter how much smoothing its jitter city. It doesn't want to look down, no matter what I do in the Open Track curve editor. I…”
“Basically unusable if you wear glasses”
“It's great but some reason youtube tutorials shows how to disable eye tracking and keep only head tracking through a menu that's pretty vast. My menu is quite minimal and doesn't allow me to disable only the eyes. Not…”

“Works great. It works with almost any old webcam (or even a phone used as a webcam), so there is no need for a big investment. If you have issues because your room is dark, you do not need an IR camera. Just go to Windows Settings, Bluetooth and devices, Cameras, select your…”

But after a good few hours of use on a few different games, I can say this: It does its job. Is it going to be as good as…”
