I have just acquired a Tobii 5 and this is the biggest improvement in simulation for a long time. I tried VR and couldn’t manage wearing a heavy headset for any length of time. I run a curved 32” 4K monitor and the ability to look around without using a joystick ‘hat/pov’ control is so good. It’s …

I don’t think it’s so much the orientation that’s my concern but more the actual location. Are you suggesting on top of the main monitor but upside down?

I think the factors are both distance and convenience. According to the maker, it ideally needs to be between 45 - 95 cm away from your head, so basically where the monitor would be in 99% of desktop PC users cases. I think this range is a bit low, as I’ve often noticed that if people are behind me…

Yes, if it’s configured to look up rather than down, if you see what I mean.

Thanks. Both of these are possibilities. I’ll do a little more digging.

Tobii was the one with the minimum distance, right ? That was a dealbreaker for me.

Long time ago I bought an el-cheapo TrackIR solution, and I have to say it’s really a game changer, the level of immersion by that simple change is amazing.

I have my Tobii mounted directly on my cockpit panel and it works jusr fine.

It’s great but no matter what it try I cannot get the ■■■■ thing to stay properly stuck under my monitor. Any adhesive strips (including extremely strong ones) I try just fail after a while and every trick I have tried to keep it straight and level fails at some point.

Light scuff and clean area with slightly damp cloth. Let dry and use a small dab of clear silicon in a couple areas. Tape in place and let cure overnite. It can be removed if needed with a sharp razor. :smiley:

Tobii - A revelation!
