Can you turn off IR eye-tracking for HoloLens?

Hi Marissa,

As far as I know, unfortunately there’s currently no specific setting to turn off eye tracking for HoloLens. You may experience performance issues if, for whatever reason, the calibration isn’t successful. I don’t believe there’s a workaround to this though.

To clarify, are you referring to the original HoloLens (2016) or HoloLens 2 (2019)? I can’t seem find to find many on the original, but I imagine there’s not a significant difference and the main features are still the same.

^Many guides and FAQs here, you can filter the options by the title and category/topic on the side of the page.

You can also view the HaloLens 2 - Features and Specs for more info.

Of course, you’re always welcome to share feedback and ideas on anything and voice your opinion. If there’s a feature you’d like to see added in the future or suggest to improve an already existing one, send feedback to the HoloLens team

If you have any further questions, contact HoloLens Support - it would be best to reach out to them to confirm anything. They can advise and point you in the right direction

Hope this helps!

Excellent have a great one!

Hi there Marissa welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. If I'm correct the eye tracking feature cannot be turned off at the moment.

Ok, great thanks Christopher. That's good to know! I really appreciate your reply.

You likely have IR turned off on your DIrecTV box and RF turned on. Can you check that out in settings?
