changedWe've updated our Tobii head and eye tracking smoothing algorithms to reduce jitter and lag. We also slipped in a few bugfixes on some nasty edge cases that have been plaguing us.
addedCore System OverhaulsTobii Eye/Head Tracking Rewrite: We've thrown out the old over-simplified smoothing system that felt disconnected and jittery. The new smoothing system is based on a complex prediction model that will guess where you're looking next. The result is a much tighter, 1:1 feel with significantly less jitter. We also tweaked the default acceleration values to something that feels more balanced out of the box
addedCore System OverhaulsTurret Controller & Gimbal Logic Refactor: Performance: Gimbals are no longer wasting CPU cycles constantly telling their turrets to aim at the same spot. We've added a tolerance check, so the controller only gets new tasking when the target location has meaningfully shifted. Every cycle counts. Aiming Stability: We've fine-tuned the turret controller's micro-corrections. A new damping factor prevents the annoying "wobble" when the turret over-corrects.
changedQuality of Life & Bug FixesDefault View Settings: Head and eye tracking will now be disabled while zoomed by default. The old behavior felt jarring and counter-intuitive. You can, of course, still change this in the options menu. Default Eye Tracking Acceleration: x0.3 Default Head Tracking Acceleration: x0.3
fixedQuality of Life & Bug FixesUI Initialization: Fixed a subtle bug in our list entry widgets that was causing some buttons to not work.
