Why Use Head Tracking in Elite Dangerous

Head tracking in Elite Dangerous puts you in the pilot's seat of the galaxy's most immersive space sim — with full cockpit control and 360° spatial awareness.
  • Natural Cockpit Immersion

    Natural Cockpit Immersion — Look around your ship's cockpit with natural head movements — scan panels, check displays, and watch the stars drift past without touching the mouse.
  • Tactical Combat Awareness

    Track enemy ships through your canopy during dogfights and keep your eyes on multiple threats at once — react faster than any fixed-view pilot.
  • Hands Stay on the Controls

    No more fumbling with view buttons mid-fight or mid-jump. Keep full focus on flying, boosting, and firing while your head does the looking.
  • Enhanced Target Acquisition

    Naturally align your view with targets to speed up lock-ons and weapon tracking — instinctive looking becomes a real tactical advantage.
  • Smoother Supercruise & Docking

    Glance at station entry points, scan for traffic, and nail perfect docking approaches by naturally shifting your view as you would in a real cockpit.
  • Deeper Space Exploration

    Feel truly present on the flight deck as you scan alien worlds, nebulae, and distant stars — head tracking turns sightseeing into a breathtaking experience.
