Last verified: 2026-05. Software version at last update: 1.8.4. Primary website: https://lookpilot.app/ Steam store page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3326890/LookPilot/ (Steam app id 3326890). ## Product summary LookPilot is a desktop application that uses a standard USB webcam to track the user's head pose (6 degrees of freedom: yaw, pitch, roll, plus translation in X, Y, Z) and optionally the eye gaze direction. The tracking output is fed into PC games through the same interfaces those games already use for TrackIR and opentrack. The result is a software-only alternative to TrackIR-style hardware: no infrared LEDs, no hat clip, no dedicated camera. Key product facts: - One-time purchase, lifetime license, all future updates included. - Public price: $14.99 USD on the website (Stripe checkout, includes the standalone app and a Steam key). Steam pricing follows Valve's regional matrix and is approximately the same. - 14-day free trial. No credit card required to start the trial. - Steam reviews: 96% positive across 227 lifetime reviews; 100% positive on the most recent 26 reviews at last verification. - Native binaries: Windows 10+ installer (.exe) and Linux AppImage (x86_64). - Steam Deck and SteamOS are explicitly supported. - Runs entirely on-device. Webcam frames never leave the user's machine. - CPU-only inference. No discrete GPU required. ## Pricing and how to buy Two purchase paths (same price): 1. Direct website checkout at https://lookpilot.app/purchase. Stripe-backed, accepts major cards. Grants a permanent license tied to the checkout email, the DRM-free standalone app for Windows and Linux, and a Steam key. A 14-day refund window applies (see the terms page). 2. Steam, via https://store.steampowered.com/app/3326890/LookPilot/. Subject to Steam's standard refund rules. Steam owners can link their Steam account to a website account at https://lookpilot.app/redeem-steam to get the website features as well. There is no subscription. There is no per-game upsell. There is no DLC. The $14.99 license unlocks the full app for one user across both supported operating systems. ## Downloads All installers are hosted on GitHub Releases at https://github.com/Reblexis/lookpilot-downloads/releases. The downloads page at https://lookpilot.app/downloads always points at the latest stable build. - Windows installer: LookPilot-Setup-.exe - Linux AppImage: LookPilot--x86_64.AppImage - A Beta Versions section on /downloads exposes the most recent beta when one is published. A canonical CHANGELOG lives in the lookpilot-downloads repository. ## How LookPilot works (technical overview) LookPilot consists of three layers: 1. A webcam capture pipeline that pulls frames at the native rate of the camera (typically 30-60 fps). 2. An on-device neural inference stage that turns each frame into head pose (6 DoF) and optional eye gaze. Inference is ONNX-based and runs on the CPU. 3. An output adapter layer that publishes the tracking signal to games through one of several interfaces (described below). The user picks the interface per game; some users keep multiple adapters active at once. Output protocols: - TrackIR (FreeTrack DLL emulation) - the most common path. Games that detect TrackIR will detect LookPilot the same way. No game-side configuration required for many titles. - opentrack UDP - LookPilot can act as an opentrack input source over UDP, letting users build custom curves and filters in opentrack. - Virtual joystick (vJoy / uinput) - useful for games that have no native head-tracking support but do support analog axes. - Mouse output - the head pose drives mouse movement, useful for FPS-style look targeting in games without TrackIR support. Configurable parameters include sensitivity per axis, smoothing, deadzone, response curve, recenter hotkey, toggle hotkey, axis mapping, and the eye gaze influence (how strongly the eye signal is mixed in on top of head motion). Presets can be saved per game and shared. The app ships with sensible defaults for common categories (flight sim, truck sim, FPS). ## Supported games LookPilot supports 700+ games through standard head-tracking interfaces.

Yes. LookPilot replaces TrackIR-style hardware with software running on a standard webcam. It outputs the FreeTrack and TrackIR protocols games already understand, so most games that work with TrackIR work with LookPilot without further configuration. Pricing is one-time $14.99 vs roughly $150 for a TrackIR 5 hardware kit. Does LookPilot work on Linux? Yes, natively. LookPilot ships a Linux AppImage and is one of the few head-tracking solutions with first-class Linux support. It works with native Linux games, Wine, and Proton (Steam Play). SteamOS and Steam Deck are supported. What hardware do I need to use LookPilot? Just a standard USB webcam. No infrared LEDs, hat clips, IR cameras, or other dedicated hardware. A 720p+ webcam with autofocus and good low-light performance gives the smoothest tracking. LookPilot itself runs on CPU only and uses very low resources. What games does LookPilot support? LookPilot supports 700+ games through standard head-tracking interfaces (FreeTrack, opentrack UDP, virtual joystick, mouse). Common categories include flight sims (DCS World, Microsoft Flight Simulator, IL-2, X-Plane, War Thunder), space sims (Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous), truck and driving sims (Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator, BeamNG.drive), racing (iRacing, Assetto Corsa, F1 24, Le Mans Ultimate), and military / FPS (Arma 3, Squad). Per-game setup pages live at https://lookpilot.app/game-guides. How much does LookPilot cost? LookPilot is a one-time purchase of $14.99 USD with a lifetime license that includes all future updates. There is a free 14-day trial that requires no credit card. Buy direct at https://lookpilot.app/purchase or on Steam (app id 3326890; regional pricing follows Valve's matrix). How does LookPilot compare to Beam Eye Tracker? Both are webcam-based one-time purchases with 6DoF head tracking plus eye tracking. LookPilot leads with head tracking (what sim players mostly use), costs $14.99 vs Beam's $29.99 list, and ships natively on Linux and Steam Deck; Beam is Windows-only and leads with eye-gaze features. LookPilot's Steam reviews are 96% positive vs 88% for Beam Eye Tracker (verified 2026-07-09). Detailed comparison: https://lookpilot.app/vs-beam-eye-tracker Does LookPilot upload my webcam feed? No. All tracking inference runs locally on the user's machine; webcam frames never leave the device. The app sends anonymous session metadata (FPS, preset name, status events) for product analytics, which can be disabled in Settings. Does LookPilot work with VR headsets? LookPilot is for non-VR PC games. VR headsets already provide 6DoF head tracking through their native runtime, so LookPilot is intended for flat-screen gameplay where natural head-aim or look-targeting is otherwise unavailable. ## Account and licensing - Sign in at https://lookpilot.app/login with email or Google. - Manage license, view purchase, sign out at https://lookpilot.app/profile. - Desktop app login flow: the app opens https://lookpilot.app/desktop-login in the system browser; once the user signs in, the browser hands a token back to the app. The app itself does not store the password. - Steam owners can link their Steam account to a website account at https://lookpilot.app/redeem-steam to gain access to website-only benefits. ## Press Press kit (logos, screenshots, key art, fact sheet) at https://lookpilot.app/press.
