EyeTrackVR/EyeTrackVR

Free and Affordable, Virtual Reality Eye Tracking Platform.

What it solves

EyeTrackVR provides an affordable, open-source platform for adding eye tracking capabilities to VR headsets, specifically targeting users of VRChat via OSC and UDP protocols.

How it works

The system uses a combination of hardware (mounting brackets and IR emitters) and ESP32-based firmware to track eye movement. It integrates with VR software by sending tracking data through network protocols to the application.

Who it’s for

VR enthusiasts and makers who want to add eye tracking to their headsets without purchasing expensive proprietary hardware.

Highlights

  • Open-source hardware and software components.
  • Support for various VR headsets provided they can fit the camera and LEDs.
  • Integration with VRChat via OSC and UDP.
