00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,820

00:00:08,820 --> 00:00:11,570
PRESENTER: Tobii Dynavox
software is continuously

3
00:00:11,570 --> 00:00:13,850
improving, so there may
be slight differences

4
00:00:13,850 --> 00:00:17,810
between the actual software
and our training materials.

5
00:00:17,810 --> 00:00:21,950
Control is an intuitive way of
interacting with your computer

6
00:00:21,950 --> 00:00:24,230
using eye tracking.

7
00:00:24,230 --> 00:00:27,180
Designed for people with
conditions such as ALS,

8
00:00:27,180 --> 00:00:30,210
cerebral palsy, and
spinal cord injuries,

9
00:00:30,210 --> 00:00:33,290
Control makes it easy
to navigate and control

10
00:00:33,290 --> 00:00:39,050
your computer using only your
eyes with complete independence.

11
00:00:39,050 --> 00:00:41,770
You might be wondering how
does eye tracking work?

12
00:00:41,770 --> 00:00:44,660


13
00:00:44,660 --> 00:00:47,450
First, the eye tracker at
the base of the computer

14
00:00:47,450 --> 00:00:52,070
sends out near-infrared light,
which is reflected in your eyes.

15
00:00:52,070 --> 00:00:55,790
Those reflections are picked up
by the eye tracker's cameras.

16
00:00:55,790 --> 00:00:58,320
Through advanced filtering
and calculations,

17
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,490
the eye tracker determines where
you're looking on the screen,

18
00:01:01,490 --> 00:01:03,010
putting you in control.

19
00:01:03,010 --> 00:01:05,690


20
00:01:05,690 --> 00:01:08,040
Tobii Dynavox eye
tracking technology

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,830
can track one or both eyes
across a variety of conditions

22
00:01:11,830 --> 00:01:15,550
having overcome barriers like
bright sunlight, glasses,

23
00:01:15,550 --> 00:01:20,520
head movement, and positioning.

24
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,520
Control introduces a concept
called interaction first,

25
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,760
which mimics the
natural way you would

26
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,130
use a computer with a mouse.

27
00:01:29,130 --> 00:01:31,800
This means you first navigate
to the object on screen

28
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,595
that you want to interact
with by looking at the icon.

29
00:01:34,595 --> 00:01:37,530


30
00:01:37,530 --> 00:01:39,480
And then choose
what function you

31
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,750
want to perform whether that's
right click, double click,

32
00:01:42,750 --> 00:01:44,730
or something else.

33
00:01:44,730 --> 00:01:47,350
To open the Google Chrome
browser, for example,

34
00:01:47,350 --> 00:01:51,240
you would activate the
double click option.

35
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,550
The gaze trace
provides a clear visual

36
00:01:53,550 --> 00:01:56,010
of where you are
looking on the screen.

37
00:01:56,010 --> 00:01:58,380
This trace follows
your gaze, locking

38
00:01:58,380 --> 00:02:00,090
if a fixation is detected.

39
00:02:00,090 --> 00:02:03,750
This happens when you stare
at one spot long enough.

40
00:02:03,750 --> 00:02:06,140
To unlock, simply
move your gaze away.

41
00:02:06,140 --> 00:02:11,640


42
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:15,210
But to interact, select the
activator icon to bring up

43
00:02:15,210 --> 00:02:18,440
the interaction menu.

44
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,070
Let's take a closer
look at this menu.

45
00:02:22,070 --> 00:02:24,450
Every time you select
the activator icon,

46
00:02:24,450 --> 00:02:27,330
the interaction menu opens
in the center of your screen

47
00:02:27,330 --> 00:02:28,730
like this.

48
00:02:28,730 --> 00:02:31,580
Notice that a magnified
image of the selected area

49
00:02:31,580 --> 00:02:36,380
is displayed in the middle with
a menu options surrounding it.

50
00:02:36,380 --> 00:02:39,590
This centralized radial
menu improves eye tracking

51
00:02:39,590 --> 00:02:42,560
accuracy and efficiency.

52
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,660
You'll find all of your
main interaction functions

53
00:02:44,660 --> 00:02:50,330
in this menu including
double click, left click,

54
00:02:50,330 --> 00:02:56,030
scroll, right click,
click and drag,

55
00:02:56,030 --> 00:03:00,140
opening an on screen
keyboard, and adjust target

56
00:03:00,140 --> 00:03:04,250
for fine tuning your
initial selection.

57
00:03:04,250 --> 00:03:05,960
Let's watch how
easy it is to use

58
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,710
the tools in computer control
to navigate your computer.

59
00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:12,800


60
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,070
Imagine you want to look
up today's weather online.

61
00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:20,390
First, fix your gaze on
the Google Chrome icon.

62
00:03:20,390 --> 00:03:24,570
Select the activator
icon to open your menu

63
00:03:24,570 --> 00:03:26,555
and then choose double click.

64
00:03:26,555 --> 00:03:30,690


65
00:03:30,690 --> 00:03:33,720
Now that your browser
is open, fix your gaze

66
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,970
on the address bar.

67
00:03:35,970 --> 00:03:41,340
Again, select the activator
icon and choose keyboard

68
00:03:41,340 --> 00:03:42,230
to enter text.

69
00:03:42,230 --> 00:03:46,530


70
00:03:46,530 --> 00:03:50,250
Notice how word prediction
makes this process easy.

71
00:03:50,250 --> 00:03:53,490
Select enter on the
keyboard to start the search

72
00:03:53,490 --> 00:03:56,640
and then close the keyboard.

73
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,100
To scroll through
your result options,

74
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:01,380
fix your gaze anywhere
on the screen,

75
00:04:01,380 --> 00:04:05,790
select the activator
icon, and select scroll.

76
00:04:05,790 --> 00:04:07,410
Look toward the
bottom of your screen

77
00:04:07,410 --> 00:04:11,530
to start scrolling down to
slow down the scrolling speed,

78
00:04:11,530 --> 00:04:17,250
keep your gaze closer
to the scroll icon

79
00:04:17,250 --> 00:04:18,739
or look up to go back.

80
00:04:18,739 --> 00:04:23,040


81
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,960
When you have found the website
you want, close the scroll tool.

82
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,910
Now fix your gaze on the link,
select the activator icon,

83
00:04:31,910 --> 00:04:33,205
and select left click.

84
00:04:33,205 --> 00:04:37,490


85
00:04:37,490 --> 00:04:39,680
Now you're ready
to read the weather

86
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,400
and you did everything
with your eyes.

87
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,590
For more options
with Control, simply

88
00:04:45,590 --> 00:04:50,630
gaze down out of the screen area
to bring up the off screen menu.

89
00:04:50,630 --> 00:04:53,600
Here you can access
the app switcher,

90
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:59,330
enable continuous click,
pause eye gaze, and even more

91
00:04:59,330 --> 00:05:01,940
like adjusting settings and
calibrating the software

92
00:05:01,940 --> 00:05:02,530
to your eyes.

93
00:05:02,530 --> 00:05:05,690


94
00:05:05,690 --> 00:05:08,240
Control even provides
quick start guides

95
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,520
right within the
software to orient you

96
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,580
to all the controls available.

97
00:05:13,580 --> 00:05:16,430
All in all, Control
provides eye gaze users

98
00:05:16,430 --> 00:05:18,830
with speed and
precision, reduced eye

99
00:05:18,830 --> 00:05:21,920
fatigue, and more
successful interactions.

100
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,050
The bottom line
is Control allows

101
00:05:24,050 --> 00:05:27,080
you to use the apps
you choose and pursue

102
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,350
the goals that matter to you.

103
00:05:30,350 --> 00:05:35,350
Explore more about Control in
the Tobii Dynavox learning hub.
