Head & Eye Tracking with OpenTrack using Eyeware Beam

Beam’s default configuration automatically translates your head and eye movements into a simulated head movement in OpenTrack. This creates a more immersive gaming experience where the in-game camera responds to your eye movements, reducing the need for excessive head turning.

For personalized preferences, the Beam settings allow further customization of the input to OpenTrack:

• Click the Beam tray icon, then the gear symbol to access settings.
• You can choose the tracking source. For instance, select “Head” if you prefer only head movement tracking, as opposed to the default “Head & Gaze” option.
• Adjust your field of view by adjusting the range values. You can adjust how much the camera is moved by head or eye movements separately. Yaw refers to left and right movements and pitch is for up and down movements.
• The yaw and pitch values are limited to the -90 and 90 degrees range no matter how much you increase the range parameters. To enable more extreme angles you can change the mapping in OpenTrack as explained in the next step below.
• Adjust the responsiveness of the in-game camera to your movements by changing the sensitivity values. A value of zero will deactivate that particular input. 
• Adjust eye tracking sensitivity levels cautiously. Too high levels may cause nausea.

Ghi chú:

• Important! Increase yaw and pitch range in the Beam settings first, and only in a 2nd step (if needed) in OpenTrack. This will improve the tracking smoothness.
• These custom settings are specific to Gaming Extensions and won’t affect Beam’s other features.
