'Star Citizen' Adding Tobii Eye Tracking Technology Support In Next Update

by Rainier on Dec. 9, 2020 @ 9:54 a.m. PST

Star Citizen is an epic experience where players can fly highly detailed space ships, explore life-sized planets, battle on foot through massive space stations, and discover adventure in an ever-expanding and changing galaxy of unmatched scale.

Star Citizen delivers the next generation of space flight simulation gaming, combining FPS (First Person Shooter) combat and persistent MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) gameplay to create a living, breathing first person universe capable of truly unlimited gameplay experiences. In addition, through the game's advanced Newtonian physics engine, Star Citizen enables players to experience an unparalleled space sim flying experience with ship control, performance and response calculated based on dozens of dynamically generated physics based variables.

Star Citizen will not require a subscription, and not be free-to-play, it will will be available for a one-time purchase. And while players will be able to play in the Star Citizen universe for free, there will also be virtual items available for purchase with in-game credits so players can customize their ships and other items.

Cloud Imperium Games announced it has signed an exclusive partnership with Tobii, the global leader in eye tracking technology, to bring the next generation of eye tracking and head tracking technology to Star Citizen. The upcoming Star Citizen - Alpha 3.12: Assault on Stanton update will introduce official support for the innovative Tobii technology for the first-time, delivering a more immersive way to explore and experience the universe of Star Citizen.

“Flying and ship-to-ship combat is a critical part of the Star Citizen experience – and Tobii eye tracking hardware makes that experience much more immersive,” said Cloud Imperium Games CEO and Star Citizen creative director Chris Roberts. “We look forward to working with our partners at Tobii to expand eye tracking features and functionality over time.”

Take flying and dogfighting in Star Citizen to the next level with the advanced precision and speed of Tobii eye tracking hardware, while enjoying a more intuitive flight experience as you soar through space. In order to take advantage of eye tracking support in Star Citizen, players must have the appropriate Tobii hardware, such as the Tobii Eye Tracker 5. To celebrate this partnership announcement, for a limited time, Star Citizen players will benefit from a saving of 10% from the usual purchase price of the Tobii Eye Tracker 5.

“We are thrilled to add Star Citizen to our growing library of titles that support our eye tracking technology,” said Anand Srivatsa, Division CEO of Tobii Tech. “Whether you are aiming to improve reaction times and precision or looking for a more immersive and comfortable way to explore and enjoy gaming, Tobii offers a new way to experience your favorite games.”
