This article describes how to set up Automobilista 2 correctly to enable Tobii tracking.

Prerequisites:

• Install Tobii Experience and Tobii Game Hub v.4.0 or later version.
• Install Opentrack and follow steps 1-9 in the Opentrack setup guide. Return to this article after step 9.

To enable Tobii tracking in Automobilista 2:

1. Launch Steam and select the Library tab.
2. Right-click on Automobilista 2, select Manage, and then Add desktop shortcut.
3. On your desktop, right-click the new shortcut and select Properties.
4. Replace the existing URL with: steam://launch/1066890/vr
   
5. Use the edited shortcut to launch Automobilista 2 in VR mode.
6. Once in the game, select Helmet view for the Tobii Eye Tracker 5 to work seamlessly. Use the F key to cycle through cameras (Helmet view appears after the passenger camera, requiring two presses from the cockpit view).
   💡Tip: Map the switch camera button to a button on your wheel for easy access.
7. In Automobilista 2 go to the Options or Settings menu.
8. Under System, ensure Shared Memory is activated (on a clean install this should already be on by default).

Additional recommendations:

For an even better experience, try these in-game settings:

1. Show Helmet: Set to NO (this turns off the displayed helmet in the camera settings).
2. Helmet Look to Apex: Set to 0.
3. Field of View (FOV): Match this to the same setting you use for the cockpit view. Adjust based on your monitor's width and your comfort level.

These tweaks can help you get the most out of your racing experience! 🚗💨💨💨

Happy racing!
