Head tracking in combination with eye tracking provides an immersive experience in simulator games. It gives you the ability to freely look around without the use of a mouse or such and can significantly increase your spatial awareness.

All games may not track positioning.
Head tracking can be implemented differently in each game so results may vary based on the integration and customization made by the player.
Results are based on...
Distance: 65-70 cm
Screen size: 27"
Position: Center of the tracking box
Tracking box dimensions are 16 x 12" / 40 x 30 cm at 29.5" / 75 cm
Results may vary per individual, environment, and positioning within the tracking box.
Game support
Please note that head tracking is only available on our gaming peripherals that are based on the IS4 and IS5 platform. The head tracking feature is not compatible with our older platform IS3, for example, Tobii EyeX Controller, SteelSeries Sentry, and the MSI GT72 Dominator Pro Tobii.
