It all works pretty well, although I do have one reservation about this method of attachment. SteelSeries envisions Sentry as a product for passionate video-game players using high-end rigs or gaming laptops; anyone who’s spent more than £1,000 on a laptop such as the Dell Alienware 17 R2 or a desktop with high-end monitor is likely to think twice about defacing it with a nasty strip of sticky black plastic.In order to provide accurate feedback on where your eyes look while playing games, it’s essential that the Sentry is can track your eyes successfully. Thankfully this is one task the Sentry absolutely excels at.Using three sensors – two housed at either end of the glossy front face, and one in the centre – it’s capable of tracking both your eyes 50 times a second. It can even scan them through glasses or contact lenses, and you can choose to have it follow only one of your eyes, presumably in case you have a lazy or glass eye.

Sentry comes bundled with Tobii’s EyeX software, which allows you to play around with controlling Windows with your eyes and the right Ctrl button. It works surprisingly well, picking out what you’re looking at with alarming accuracy. I wouldn’t say it’s a viable alternative to using a keyboard and mouse, but it does highlight the potential of eye-tracking navigation systems for the disabled or as a means of quickly moving between apps and windows.What sets Sentry apart from the Tobii EyeX Dev Kit on which it’s based – and which is €100 cheaper – is its analytical and streaming software.Using Sentry Game Analyzer you can analyse where your eyes have been looking during a game session. You can then supposedly use that information to improve your clearly latent abilities and become a pro gamer. Unfortunately, that’s not quite how things work out.

I tested Game Analyzer using Dota 2 (one of only two games that work with the software, the other being StarCraft II) and a random selection of perplexed gamers at London Game Space at Scenario Bar in Dalston, London, the results were at once overwhelming and disappointing.Game Analyzer provides you with incredibly granular data about where you looked during a session. Available during post-match replays, the software tells you how often and for how long you looked at your mini-map, allies, enemies, dropped items and the general world around you. It can even tell you how long you spent gazing longingly at items in the shop and then looking in despair at your meagre gold balance. You can also pull up your statistics, giving you a second-by-second look at what your eyes were up to during a battle.

To help you manage the sheer amount of information Game Analyzer throws your way, SteelSeries has colour-coded a scale for "awareness” of each screen zone. It also allows you to view components on the basis of how often you looked, or how long you looked for. It’s hard to say precisely how accurate it is, but from my time playing it didn’t appear to get anything horribly wrong.The trouble is, no matter how exciting this all seems, having this information seems rather useless. It’s unclear how it could help you improve reaction times in games, and it certainly won’t make you more adept at understanding a game’s core systems. It seems impossible, or at least incredibly difficult, to export data and view it on another machine or in a spreadsheet, and if you quit a match early you’ll lose all "gaze information”.Many of the players at London Game Space found it tricky to understand what the information meant, and while they were of varying skill levels, all of them had a deep interest in games. It seems that if SteelSeries can’t sell its analytical device to the very people who should be interested in it, then questions about its usefulness have to be raised.

Thankfully, the other piece of bundled software, SteelSeries’ Sentry Streaming Overlay, is much better, providing a practical application for the device.For those who stream gameplay footage or record YouTube tutorials regularly, Sentry Streaming Overlay will be a great feature, setting your clips apart from those on other channels. Working with any game in your library, and pairing up with Open Broadcaster Software and XSplit Broadcaster, Streaming Overlay layers eye-tracking information over the top of what you’re playing.This means viewers can see exactly how you play, and understand how you spotted an enemy up ahead or an approaching flanking situation.

It’s telling that all the endorsements on the Sentry’s website come from SteelSeries-sponsored eSports players. Everyone who went eyes-on with the Eye Tracker during our review found its proposition incredibly confusing.The SteelSeries Sentry’s eye-tracking ability is fantastic, but the novelty of navigating around Windows isn’t enough to warrant the €200 (£144) purchase. Combine this with the mysterious lack of support for the largest eSports game in the world, League of Legends, and the rather thin catalogue of just two titles, and there seems to be little reason to rush out and buy one.Alphr is for people who embrace new technology and thrive on change, no matter what their job title. It’s a technology site that’s different. It’s for doers, whether you’re a one-person startup, a CTO, or the head of marketing at a major enterprise. And it’s about the whole of your life, because you don’t stop using technology when you leave the office.

We cover the amazing technologies that change the way we work and the way we liveWe cover the amazing technologies that change the way we work and the way we live. That means we’re about more than just laptops, smartphones or even wearables (although of course we include those too). We’ll also cover cars, renewable energy, space, science – anything where people are using technology to reshape the world and make it a better place.Being British, we’re going to look at all this with a critical eye too – particularly those governments and big companies that are using technology to surreptitiously violate your privacy and rights.When launching a new site, one of the biggest challenges is building up a body of great content. To give Alphr a head start, we've incorporated the very best of pcpro.co.uk. The site had already diverged somewhat from PC Pro magazine, which remains unchanged. We’ve also spent the past few months building a team of the best tech writers in the UK. Some are already PC Pro favourites, but many are new and bring their own expertise.

Creating Alphr has been an immense project. It seems like a long time since I sat in an office and first started talking about a new technology launch that could hit where others were missing. Along the way, there’s been everything you get with a major online launch: tears, tantrums, the odd case of code or content going missing. Everyone who’s working on Alphr has done an amazing job, and I’m proud of what we’ve done so far.But this is only day one, and we have a long way to go. The launch of a website is just the beginning. We’ve done a lot of testing, but there will definitely be things we’ve missed. We’re going to experiment all the time, and sometimes we won’t get it right, so please let us know what you think, in the comments, on Facebook or Twitter, or just by emailing me.

I’m sat on a train rushing through the English countryside. This week, I'll be working in London. Last week, I was living and working from a hotel in Bangkok. Welcome to the life of a digital nomad.I’m not the only one. In fact, there are many people who have chosen to work from wherever they can access power and the internet. It's a way of life technology has made possible, and the number of folk opting for such a life is growing.Why be a coding nomad? For me, having run my one-person studio successfully from an apartment in London, I felt it was time to see more of the world. When the list of what you require to do your job includes a laptop, power and internet, in theory you should be able to work from almost anywhere. And if you have the capability to work from almost anywhere, why not live anywhere too?

The first steps of a journey are always the most difficult, and mine was no exception. Before I left my apartment in London, I gave away almost all of my belongings. Someone once said it's experiences, not things, that make a person – and they’re right. While it was hard to say goodbye to those inanimate objects at first, it became much easier. If you’re the kind of person who longs for more and more things, this life isn’t for you.Something that allowed me to jump pretty quickly into this new type of living was that I keep a general rule of always having enough money saved to last a period of six months. That applies to both my company and personal finances. It ensures I’m always covered in emergency situations and affords me a degree of freedom. If my funds ever dip below that six-month limit, I know it's time to take on another contract to boost that pot back up again.

This buffer was vital, because it allowed me to do two things. First, it enabled me to take what was in effect a test trip, to determine whether I could actually manage the travel, be away from friends and so on, over a longer period. More importantly, it also meant that I wasn’t going to end up stranded somewhere a long way from home if a client didn’t pay on time, or a contract fell through. Although there’s a certain thrill to living on the edge, if you’re going make this your way of life long-term, you need enough security money to ensure that if something does go wrong, you can rescue yourself.My test trip was three months in California. Here I’d break from contract work and concentrate on planning for a longer stretch abroad, brainstorming future projects, and making sure both my personal and company structures were ready for life on the road. I wanted a plan, even if it was simply which area of the world I'd visit first!
