Evaluation

Beam Eye Tracker launched on August 2, 2023 and has maintained a consistent and substantial stream of feature updates ever since. The developer has shipped at least 11 feature patches since launch, with major milestones including: direct in-game camera control without requiring Opentrack (February 2, 2026), Community Profiles via Steam Workshop (March 21, 2026), up to 40% CPU usage reduction (July 13, 2026), and — most recently on July 23, 2026 — a public beta bringing native Linux and macOS support alongside a new SDK 2.2.0 with Godot and JavaScript support. That July 23 post also references a new Game Connection tab and an optimized tracking driver, indicating the developer is actively building out new platform coverage and SDK capabilities. There is no indication the developer considers the product feature-complete; the July 13, 2026 update explicitly described Linux and macOS public betas as "our next major milestones," and those milestones are now in progress. The update cadence has remained consistent throughout the product's lifetime, with no gaps approaching silence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What webcam do I need for the Beam Eye Tracker?

For most users, a standard 720p webcam, built-in or external, is a cost-effective and instant option. It offers solid performance and simple setup at 30 FPS. You can also use free apps that turn your phone into a webcam.

Test the Demo first. Make sure you are happy with the app before buying any hardware. If the demo does not run, contact us for help.


Does the Beam Eye Tracker work with glasses?

Yes. Most users with glasses have no issues. Strong prescriptions or glare from lenses can reduce accuracy slightly, and thick frames may block your eyes at certain angles. If that happens, try positioning your webcam below the monitor instead of above it.

Try the Demo first to see how it works with your glasses.


How do I set up the Beam Eye Tracker with my game?

Most games work automatically. Start the Beam Eye Tracker, launch your game, and the in-game camera will respond to your head and eye movements. A few games (like Star Citizen, F1, and Farming Simulator) need a quick in-game setting change. Check the game setup guides for game-specific instructions.


Does the app collect biometric data?

No, the Beam Eye Tracker does not generate or store any biometric data.
