Hunternet Starfighter, Tobii eye & head tracking launch!
Hunternet Starfighter · published
Salute, pilot!
Tobii eye and head tracking is now available in Hunternet Starfighter!
After completing VR support Phase 1 I decided it was the perfect time to tackle Tobii support.
Tobii support phase 1 is now complete and I am very happy with how it turned out! Big thanks to Tobii for providing me with the hardware that made this possible.
Head tracking feels smooth and natural and eye tracking adds something completely new to the sim. Eye tracking is an excellent fit for Hunternet's emphasis on using your Mark 1 eyeball to maintain situational awareness and for our intense close quarters combat. It works so well that I hope VR headsets with integrated eye tracking support become the standard in the near future.
Witness what this great bit a kit has to offer for us virtual space pilots:
If you'd like to fly with us I highly recommend joining the official Discord community.
Good hunting pilot,
Fernando Z
