But I do like the sound of how they work , I was a bit worried I'd have to stare at my roof to look out the top of my iEagle.
I did see someone setup that involved a concave projector screen, how cool is this!!

Giyari Artie has suggested EDtracker to me though, which seems like much more available to me at £45
+1 for EDTracker - great value for money!
Maybe the more expensive options would be worth looking into if you're big into sims. I'm not, so it suits me just fine for a better ED experience

I'm running triple monitor (5760x1080)... but that wrap around screen makes mine look like an abortion.

NumaI'm using a Tobii EyeX 4C. Head and eye tracking without having to wear anything.
Whats the difference between head tracker and the eye tracker?

Eye tracker follows your eye movements. I dunno how they work. Sorcery, probably.

Marra MorganHead tracker is a gyro thingy that tracks your head movement. It's a little box that you put on your head. I have mine on my headphones band.

Sorcery indeed, but why have an eye tracker, how does it respond in game when you look left or right.

The only downside is that a smartphone screen isn't specifically designed to sit inches from your face, and I've heard that that pretty much throws Multi hour sessions out the window.

I suppose it doesn't? It only responds to what your eyes directly look at?

Sell a kidney. It's worth it.

HappyComrieI heard that buying a smartphone VR adapter is also a really good option since they have good resolution screens, and they're inexpensive if you already have a compatible Phone.

All configurable. With direct response the camera would be jumping all over. With some delay curve it works very very well. Obsidian Ant has some videos about it, in one he also shares his ED settings. I'm at work, where Youtube is blocked, else I'd link it.
