EyeTrackVR is a free, open-source, DIY software platform that turns affordable cameras and IR LEDs mounted inside a VR headset into an eye tracker. It streams eye-tracking data to social VR applications like VRChat, ChilloutVR, and NeosVR via OSC and UDP.

Use cases

• add eye tracking to a VR headset that lacks it
• get eye tracking working in VRChat avatars
• build a DIY eye tracker with ESP32 and IR cameras
• stream eye data to social VR games over OSC
• make VRChat avatars blink and look realistically
• affordable alternative to headset eye tracking add-ons

When to choose

• you want free or low-cost eye tracking for social VR
• you are comfortable building and mounting small hardware yourself
• you use VRChat, ChilloutVR, or NeosVR and want expressive eye movement
• you want a privacy-focused, locally hosted solution

When to avoid

• you need plug-and-play eye tracking without DIY assembly
• you are unwilling to handle IR emitter safety precautions
• you need production-grade, fully finished software
• your headset cannot physically fit cameras and LEDs
