Tobii Eye Tracking Support Will Offer Pilots a More Immersive and Hands-free Flight Experience
Cloud Imperium Games (CIG) today announced it has signed an exclusive partnership with Tobii, the global leader in eye tracking technology, to bring the next generation of eye tracking and head tracking technology to Star Citizen. The upcoming Star Citizen - Alpha 3.12: Assault on Stanton update will introduce official support for the innovative Tobii technology for the first-time, delivering a more immersive way to explore and experience the universe of Star Citizen.

About Cloud Imperium Games and Roberts Space Industries®
Cloud Imperium is a new kind of independent studio dedicated to delivering AAA games outside the established publisher system. It was founded in 2012 by renowned visionary game developer Chris Roberts (Wing Commander series, Freelancer, Privateer), Sandi Gardiner, and international media lawyer and producer Ortwin Freyermuth (Carlito’s Way, Shattered, Das Boot - Director’s Cut), with industry veteran and studio director Erin Roberts (Lego videogame series, Starlancer, Privateer) joining the team in 2013. Cloud Imperium is creating Star Citizen, a record-shattering, largely crowdfunded space sim, and Squadron 42, a Hollywood-caliber, story-driven single-player game set in the same universe. Cloud Imperium operates in “open development” – sharing progress and updates in near real time. This paradigm-shifting development process (game development usually occurs behind closed doors) gives the community an unprecedented look at Star Citizen and Squadron 42’s development and allows direct feedback and interaction between players and developers, thereby ensuring that the games being developed are what players want to play.
