No preview

I have a very specific requirement, but you can’t even preview the output or see the settings before installing the desktop app. I’m not going to install the desktop app for something I don’t even know will work.

Going to have to say since buying this it’s been nothing but terrible, doesn’t track properly or line up and just very hard to use can see why it’s so cheap, if your going to use tracking just pay more and get the proper equipment

Didn’t work well for me

Using an iPhone 13 mini with my gaming pc I couldn’t get the eye tracking very smooth at all. I’ll be looking at other solutions. Cool idea hopefully the issues are fixed in the futurw

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. The eye tracking using the iPhone is the smoothest of all options, as we offload the processing onto the phone and utilize the TrueDepth camera. This issue seems to be related to device placement. Please ensure that you have followed the instructions at beam.eyeware.tech/ios-setup and positioned the phone correctly under the right monitor and your eyes are visible. If you need assistance, feel free to reach out to us on Discord. We're here to support you.

Disappointing

Having downloaded this app, and purchased the full priced program on steam to complement it, its performance just isn’t acceptable.

Once in game, I’m either facing the wrong direction or upside down. The eye tracking movements are all over the place, and don’t appear to be tracking properly. No mention on the recommended distance the user should be from the monitor, or from the iPhone. Or what orientation the iPhone should be in (landscape or portrait)? With iOS, we expect things to ‘just work’, this has been nothing but a major headache.

I’ll be happy to update this review if the developers are willing to reach out, and advise on how to get it working as advertised.

3 Stars for now. Will Update later.

So far the biggest drawback is that I cannot tell it to use the rear camera. The rear camera is higher fidelity and higher resolution. Since it's connected via WiFi 6E, I should have more than enough intranet bandwidth to handle nearly instantaneous 4K/60 or 1080p/120(240) tracking. I subscribed for a year, but will most likely not renew my subscription if this isn't something that can be available to us in coming updates. Seems like an oversight.

Thank you for your feedback. It appears you are referencing the legacy iOS Edition. Please visit our website to check out the latest release of the Beam Eye Tracker, which allows the use of the rear camera when paired with a webcam app. However, please note that the capability to offload to a high-resolution, high-frame-rate camera is not yet activated. We invite you to join our Discord or reach out to help@eyeware.tech, where I can assist you further with your subscription and discuss transitioning to the Beam Eye Tracker if you prefer. Thanks for your patience and continued support.

Best Head Tracking App

It really does work! I had an issue (user error), and the support quickly helped me fix it. This app makes games so much more immersive. 10/10

Happy to help! Thanks for the review.

Connection

So when I downloaded it on my phone and pc, I cannot connect it because the phone connection won’t show up. I have the 1.4.3 and I don’t have a webcam but it is telling me to use a webcam as tho there is no option for phone

Hi, it seems you have downloaded the Eyeware Beam Webcam Edition on your PC. Please uninstall that one. For the iOS Edition (which is currently a separate product) there is a different iWindows installer that you will receive the link to, once you've downloaded and entered your email in the Beam iOS app. Thanks for reconsidering your review score. You can find us on Discord for direct support.

Great for DCS

So I’m currently waiting to get a track IR and use the EB head tracker on my iPhone for DCS. If you get in and adjust the input and output curves it is actually pretty amazing. I’ve been using it since January 2023 and I will say it is a great product and alternative option for those getting into head tracking games. Good job devs!!

Oof you broke it

Awesome, happy to hear that. Thanks for the review!

Couldn’t connect via Wi-Fi or usb

Shame but found a free version that works with open track and AI tracker so happy to save the £4.99.

Best eye tracking software

This app has changed my view of how I am immersed in games. I personally use the head tracking in American Truck Simulator but so much more is available for this app! The eye tracking is perfect for streamers (like myself) or other content creators. On top of this, the support team is one of the best, helping with even the setup of the product. This is truly my favorite app on my phone now and it continues to impress me with updates enhancing the experience even more!

Eye tracking not good enough

This app seems like it could be amazing, but the eye tracking is terrible, the calibration seems like it’s too short and doesn’t do anything, use it for more than 2 minutes and it becomes completely off calibrated. I think it’s possible for it to be better than it is

Hi spotricr, thanks for the comment. We're a deep tech company constantly developing the underlying eye tracker performance. I hope we can get that "amazing" stamp from you with a next release. As for your case right now: Please make sure to have a good and stable illumination in your room when using the app, place the phone centered under the monitor and make sure you do not move your head out of the calibration position too much. That should help provide a more robust performance. Please also find us on discord for direct support: https://discord.com/invite/7ZKB8tm

App doesn’t detect payment

I paid for the lifetime option, and the app still prompts me to “Get full access”. Premium features not working at all.

Misleading app

Thought it was a head tracking software for free but you have to pay a premium for that

Run away for the moment…

I bought a full access for this application for research purpose… The application works on my Iphone, but the third part application on windows is not really tested and does not work on my windows 10. The only answer of the support is : your system seams to be not compatible, update your system, disable windows defender, look a the log (with a path that does not exist)…
So run away for the moment and wait macos third-party application as it’s in python…

Payment

This app is great and works well. Or at least used to. I now how to pay a monthly or yearly fee to use it despite not having to previously. This is ridiculous. If i didnt have to pay it would be 5 stars.
