    Was wondering if Reiza Studios has or would consider supporting Tobii head and eye tracking hardware for Automobilista 2?
    It's already been proven that the Tobii hardware works perfectly within the Madness engine in Project Cars 2.

    Hey thanks for the reply TimmyC, this is great news!!!
    Strange that even Tobii's website doesn't list Automobilista 2 as a supported game.
    I guess Xmas just came early for me this year :).
    Off to buy the game ASAP.
    cheers.

    I'm glad to see Tobii head and eye tracking being supported in more racing titles!
    It's really an innovative piece of kit for those of us who can't use triple screens due to either cost or real estate room in our house.

    As a side note, I found this link which allows you to modify the Tobii 4C in Steam so that it's primarily a head tracker and not using the eye tracking feature. Very easy instructions to follow.
    Nice tip suggested by Momfer, and it does work as he indicated perfectly.

    Just switch views/ camera in a session, if your eyetracker is on you'll immediately notice you can look around.

    Eyetracker wasn't working anymore on my side tonight, chose Steam VR and switched to helmet cam but no response even though my tracker and opentrack were working fine. Anyone else having troubles?
