Barriers to Adoption

  Not available for all platforms
   Currently only available for Windows. Tobii is looking into developing for Linux and Android to tackle this barrier, but it is unknown if they will be developing for Apple operating systems.

  Unnecessary 
   Input hardware is sustaining technology, improves efficiency to improve performance but does not change procedure dramatically. Everything can still be done without the need of Tobii EyeX. It does not improve experience in a way where it is life-changing, although some gamers may choose to think so.

  Expensive for what it is
   $139 USD may not be expensive for some, but adding it on top of a PC can make the technology quite pricey. It is worth noting that since it is not available for all platforms and not necessary for functionality of the PC, consumers may find a better opportunity for its cost. 

   What if I didn't want to look there?
    There is a high learning curve which users may be turned off by. Users will have to learn the optimal ways of using the eye-tracking device where they will minimize the mistakes they make. Also, many gamers have a particular gaming style in which they are accustomed to the way they approach the game. Implementing Tobii EyeX may result in hindrance of their abilities before realizing its full potential.
