Just a quick question, any chance we'll see support for Tobii, or similar?

How would it be used in a game like this?

Currently, unlike games like Squad, Arma, DCS, and others there is no head swivel. I couldn't see it working without head swivel unless your idea was to have the whole body move with your eye movement.

It's mentioned further in the thread that head swivel isn't implemented, so this may be a non-starter. That said, if head swivel was implemented I could see something like tobii being used to check corners, glance left/right, etc, without having to move the weapon across the field of view.

I think head swivel would need to be implemented to make something like tobii, or any eye/head tracking, useful. I don't think having the whole body move with the eyes would be a great experience. IDK if head swivel is in the development plans, if not, no worries.

Interesting. I just watched a video about Tobii and ARMA3 and its just used like a Track IR.

Seems cool and kinda wished this game had a freelook button but considering they want it to be controller friendly I figured that was out of scope.
