The narrator provides his personal configuration and settings for the eye tracker, including disabling head tracking during FPS gameplay, but still allowing it during aiming down sight. He also mentions the ability to customize sensitivity and keybinds for individual preferences.
The narrator explains that using the Tobii Eye Tracker 5 in Star Citizen can greatly improve situational awareness, especially in combat scenarios and piloting. It allows for easier target selection and off-axis missile engagement, effectively adding another axis of control to engage enemies.

While the eye tracker is not necessary to play the game, it adds to the overall immersive experience.
