Compatibility, setup & limitations

  • This is an eye tracker rather than a self-contained computer or universal tablet accessory. Confirm the current minimum PC requirements, supported Windows version, USB connection, drivers, and software licensing before installation.
  • Calibration and tracking performance depend on eye visibility, user position, display/monitor geometry, and ambient conditions; mobility aids or mounting changes can alter alignment.
  • Gaze motion alone does not guarantee reliable click, drag, keyboard, or dwell behavior. Configure the appropriate access software and verify each required action in the target application.
  • Do not extrapolate PCEye 5 software compatibility from the unrelated Tobii Eye Tracker 5 gaming product or assume that other Tobii tracker generations use identical installers.

Preservation and service

Keep the optical tracking window clean with only approved materials and protect the monitor mount from impact. Save configuration and calibration notes before moving the host or changing display scaling.
