We live in an information age, but to get the information, you need access to a computer. As use of a user's hands and wrists deteriorate and even a user's voice starts to diminish, an eye tracker can be a life saver. Typical Setup ProcedureA typical setup procedure goes as follows:
Pointing/Moving the MouseThe motion for moving the mouse/cursor is common across all applications. The speed and responsiveness of the motion is controlled by the software and by top speed the camera can run at. Click MethodsClicking is performed by one or more of the following:
Controls for other Windows ProgramsThe additional controls for accessing other programs on the windows computer depends on the software installed. Most of the time the minimum amount of control is a left click, a double click, a right click and a click drag. Because a number of programs in Windows have small buttons and small controls, a zoom features aids greatly when the precision of the eye tracker isn't perfect.
