I have a 32 curved Asus TUF curved monitor 1440p 165z 1 1800 deg curve radius and I just use iRacing. I am really missing a lot of my surroundings. Road courses really suffer due to my inability to spot my corners. I hope this will help me with that I am buying a web cam and will try Beam.

@@mrj3217 Curved two ways? ;-) I'm about to get into sim racing and would like to just use one monitor, even if likely I'll be getting the king of all monitors. If for a small price I get more immersion and good access to the mirrors...seems a no-brainer.

@AlexKowalski-ci6im 2 месяца назад

I just bougt Beam.Eye Tracker, and I'm using it with Elgato's new Facecam Mk.2, running the software with 120fps at 720p. After the use of TrackIR for almost a decade, eye-/headtracking sim- heaven has arrived my screen as from now. It's just amazing how smooth and fast this software runs in conjunction with OpenTrack an Elgato's new little FPS monster 😉. HIGHLY recommended; especially for those who don't like VR, like myself.

@onecharliemike6022 5 месяцев назад

Man, I had trackIR 5 in the past but got tired of the wires so I stopped using it. I didn't want to purchase Tobi becuase it's too much money for a casual simmer to be spending. This is the solution! Thank for brining this to my attention!

@lloydnoel2289 5 месяцев назад

I was never really happy with TrackIR and recently paid megabucks for a Tobii which I tried and returned for a refund as I just could not get it to work satisfactorily. So I bought a webcam and used it with AITrack and Open Track. It wasn't at all bad but it seemed to drift and I was always having to hit the re-center button. After watching this video I immediately bought the Beam Eyetracker. Wow! I am seriously impressed! Easy setup and works out of the box. Best eye/head tracker by far IMO.

@ernestwinslow7316 5 месяцев назад

The very same experience I am having with the AITrack and Open Track. I get jittery and glitches when I want to look forward and it takes a lot of flight-time-killing moments to do all the twerking and adjustments. Looking forward to trying this out.

@KayoMichiels 5 месяцев назад

The thing is... Beam eye tracker uses your pc to process the video from your webcam as headtracking, Tobii (the 5c onwards) processes it inside the tracker and only sends out the trackinbg data to your pc.

@j.d.4697 5 дней назад

Tobii is its own death. It works great for me now in Star Citizen, but its biggest downfall is the fact that it uses your eyes to track your head. I have had multiple conversations with the customer support about accuracy problems and the fact that it moves when I blink or chew a snack even when the gaze-tracking part was disabled and they kept talling me there is no way to change that because even the head-tracking part is based on detecting my eyes.

@acn-70 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video. I have one of the cheapest cameras from Logitech, the C270. A 43" 4K monitor is at a distance of 1 meter / 39.3". It works perfectly, and in my opinion better and more configurable than TrackIr, mainly due to the particularity that with Beam Eye, when you lose your objective, the image remains stable, as you said in the video, with TrackIr everything flashes and we lose immersion . Furthermore, the option of being able to try it first to see if it is worth buying is also incredible. I already bought it, as I need Steam for MSFS it's not a problem for me not to be separated. My best regards.

@fingerhorn4 2 месяца назад

The biggest problem with Tobii is that you cannot separate the Yaw and Pitch axis. So you cannot have a wide Yaw movement and a narrow Pitch movement at the same time because there are no separate sliders for them. In all other respects I find Tobii ok and much simpler to set up than having a web cam, plus Open Track, plus Beam Eye tracker.

@JStack 3 месяца назад

14:25 thanks to your recommendation I gave Beam a try on the steam demo and love it. That “shake,” is exactly what triggers my motion sickness. I can do hours on my cousin’s high end VR system, but even head tracking would wreck me after an hour at most. Just played the whole 180 min trial of Beam and it never did the shake, its code must register the end as just holding there, and then once it picks you up again it smoothes between. You can sorta abuse it and see how it works. Makes me think they really took feedback on ways to make it usable for everyone

@jimrobinson703 2 месяца назад

I installed Beam Eye Tracker (Steam version) and Opentrack for DCS flying. Initially everything was fine. Now it quit working for no reason. I have deleted and reloaded the programs several times. I even bought the non-Steam version of Beam Eye Tracker but nothing has worked. When I check the video for my web cam with Beam it works fine but as soon as I move on to something else my web cam indicator lights go out. There is no movement at all with Opentrack. Also Beam Eye Tracker app won't stay on the screen. It disappears as soon as click on anything else and it's a major hunt to get it back. I am close to my witts end with this set-up and may have to go the Trackir or Tobii.

I have been using Track IR5 for 10 years or so. I cannot fly without it, but I have always hated to have extra cable hanging from my phones, so I decided to give this a try. Honestly I am quite disapointed. Tracking kinda works but it seems to need a heck of smoothing, thus the the lag is horrible. I am used to TIR's instant reaction to head movement. It's so good. If I try to adjust smoothness, it produces instant jitter. No matter if I do it in OpenTrack or in Beam. I switched back to TrackIr, 30 euros less in my pocket.

I found Tobii too expensive and TrackIR is very difficult to buy in the UK. You can only easily get cheap Chinese knock-offs. So in the end I went for the infrared DelanClip that works with OpenTrack software. It mostly works very well, but it is annoying having a chunky 3D printed device velcroed to my headphones and I find that when I lean forward too far it stops working because of the angle between the modified webcam mounted on the top of my screen and the device on my head. I'm not sure I really need eye tracking, so I might try out the AITrack option, but I hear these webcam solutions are lower resolution than TrackIR5, so I'm not sure if they're as good?

In 2019 I bought Tobii 4C, it was aweful, never got it working... it eventually stopped working completely and a friend of mine that used one for a few years, it died, atleast my friend had it working but still... 2 years ago I got my first Track IR 5 and I love it to bits, never have problems with it, what I love about it is I know it will unless I step on the thing last for 15 years, would not trust a Tobii 5 to last 5 years tbh. I downloaded Spudknockers Track IR profile and never looked back, its perfect, feels natural, works in all my games, DCS and MSFS and all the driving games I play like ATS and ETS, BeamNG and more... IF I had not been able to find a profile and gotten working I would probably have given up tbh, but it worked out so good, best thing I've bought in a long time! All that said, this looks pretty good and I'm very happy its getting reasonable to get head trackiing finally. For DCS for example, I cant recommend people to play DCS without headtracking of some sort so I'm glad this is a thing!

@colesunwood1656 4 месяца назад

I have experience with TrackIR, Tobii, Open Track, and Beam. I think a big thing for me that gives Tobii the edge for me is its ability to work while dark. I found that Beam works really well when its light in your room, but any sort of glare or if the lights are off it really struggles. I'd say if you play games with the lights on go for this, but if you turn those light off often like I do, it'll be a horrible experience.

What is the link for Open Track. Yea. I got a Logitech 45 inch curved screen. Had three 24 inch monitors but a pain in the butt to keep aligned. Thanks Man!

What I would love is Big Screen Beyond and no need for lighthouses or controllers as I am a flight sim guy. Thanks for the vid much appreciated.

Weirdly, I can't open the EyeTracker settings for further adjustments... OpenTrack seems to work fine however... I dunno?

Bought it after watching your video. It works but I desperately need to fine tune it. It's all over the place.

So the new beam eye tracker runs on steam, not me having to run msfs and dcs world on steam version, right?

@Cloxxki 4 месяца назад

Tobii does seem to work for people on top of a monitor, against instructions.

Hello, witch version to go for if I play on DCS and also IL II on Steam?

@josephgreen4217 5 месяцев назад

For me better than tobi. Make your own mind up though

Eye tracking sucks. I prefer head tracking. TrackIR is 1:1 accurate and supported by a ton of games already. Not sure i want to spend any money on something that isn't an improvement over that.

@imellor711 5 месяцев назад

Thx Mike, I bought this Beam eye tracking software this evening after watching this review, and it's much easier to use and smoother than Steams View Tracker, face tracking software. Seems to be working with MSFS2020 out of the box and DCS with a few slight mapping changes. Note: Steams View Tracker version of Open Tracker (v1.4) does not work with Beam, so you will need the lastest version. So you will have to have Two versions of OpenTracker installed on you PC, should yiu want to use either Face Tracker or Beam eye Tracker on occasions.

@imellor711 5 месяцев назад

Wow I have gone from "casual TrackIR or Face recognition user using Steams View Tracker running under Open Tracker too a constant " Beam head and eye" tracking user using Open Tracker. It's a real game changer in both MSFS2020 and DCS AH64D Apache.

How close do you have to be to the screen or rather how far away is the limit that you can be away from the webcam? In other words can I hook this up and put the webcam on my big screen TV mounted on the wall and sit for example 10 ft away and it would do the head tracking I know the Toby you have to be very close to your computer monitor

@OverkillSimulations 5 месяцев назад

I haven't tested THAT far but my video today I was probably 4 feet from the camera

@cwood7240 5 месяцев назад

Yup, Yup. Yup. Great video. I had the Tobii for a couple of days but returned it. Because I have an ultra wide curved monitor. It just did not work for me. Now this Beam may be what I am looking for. I have a web cam. And I got 30 bucks.

@OverkillSimulations 5 месяцев назад

The monitor I tested with is 49" super ultra wide so you should be good my friend
