Tobii PCEye User’s Manual

Chapter 1 Introduction

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Tobii PCEye device from Tobii Technology!

To ensure the optimal performance of this product, please take the time to read this

manual carefully.

This User’s Manual covers:

• The PCEye device and its use.

• The Tobii Eye Control Suite program (for enabling the use of eye control on

your PC Computer).

1.1 Intended Use

The Tobii PCEye module is an eye control unit which is designed to dock, using its

mounting bracket, under retail PC computer screens. The PCEye module allows you

use eye control to operate your personal computer with precision regardless of glasses,

contact lenses, eye color or light conditions. Simply, it enables you to control your

computer with your eyes. By looking at the screen, you control the mouse pointer and

click by blinking, dwelling (staring at the screen for a certain length of time) or using a

Switch.

When used in combination with communications software the PCEye allows

Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) users the ability to achieve their

full potential through eye control. Using the eye control offered by the PCEye a user

can communicate via text or symbols to generate synthesized (computer voice) or

digitized (recorded voice) speech for face-to-face communication. A user also has the

option of communication through e-mail, text messages and chat and has the freedom

and exibility to write and edit documents, surf the Internet, or play music and games, If

used in conjunction with communications software and an environmental control unit,

users can also use the PCEye’s eye control to control a TV, DVD and other household

appliances via IR remote control.

When used in conjunction with communications software the PCEye device is

not intended as the sole communication means for a user but as a complementary

communication solution. Low-tech and no-tech Augmentative and Alternative

Communication (AAC) solutions used as additional methods are recommended as best

practice for any person utilizing a high-tech AAC device.

8Chapter 2 Safety & Compliances

Safety

The Tobii PCEye has been tested and approved as compliant to all the

Specications and Standards listed in the 6.2 Appendix B: Compliance

Information section of this manual and in the 6.3 Appendix C: Technical

Specications section -- including, but not limited to, the Medical Device

Directive (MDD) 93/42/EEC. Nevertheless, in order to ensure safe operation of

your Tobii PCEye device, there are a few safety warnings to bear in mind:

2.1 Mounting Warning

The PCEye devices should be mounted according to instructions for approved mounts

or mounting brackets (see 3 Getting Started > 3.2 Mounting the PCEye to

your PC Monitor). However, should the device for any reason harm or damage

someone or something due to falling or other. Neither Tobii Technology nor any of its

representatives will be responsible or liable for any damages or injuries which may arise.

The mounting of the PCEye is done entirely at the user’s own risk.

2.2 Emergency Warning

Be aware that due to the low, but possible, risk of failure, the Tobii PCEye should not be

relied upon exclusively as an audio communications, or an environmental control, device

in emergencies, as well as in dangerous, or otherwise important, situations. Do not

rely on the device for emergency calls or banking transactions. We recommend having

multiple ways to communicate in emergency situations. Banking transactions should only

be carried out with a system recommended by, and approved according to the standards

of, your bank.

2.3 Infrared Warning

When activated, the Tobii PCEye emits pulsed infrared (IR) light. Certain medical devices

are susceptible to disturbance by IR light and/or radiation. Do not use the PCEye when in

the vicinity of such susceptible medical devices as their accuracy or proper functionality

could be inhibited.

2.4 Epilepsy Warning

Some people with Photosensitive Epilepsy are susceptible to epileptic seizures or

loss of consciousness when exposed to certain ashing lights or light patterns in everyday

life. This may happen even if the person has no medical history of epilepsy or has never

had any epileptic seizures.

A person with Photosensitive Epilepsy would also be likely to have problems with TV

screens, some arcade games, and ickering uorescent bulbs. Such people may have a

seizure while watching certain images or patterns on a monitor, or even when exposed

to the light sources of an eye tracker. It is estimated that about 3-5% of people with

epilepsy have this type of Photosensitive Epilepsy. Many people with Photosensitive

Epilepsy experience an “aura” or feel odd sensations before the seizure occurs. If you feel

odd during use, move your eyes away from the eye tracker.

2.5 Electricity Warning

Do not open the casing of the PCEye device, since you may be exposed to potentially

hazardous electrical voltage. The device contains no serviceable parts.

2.6 Magnetic Field Warning

The PCEye Mounting Bracket contains magnets. Magnetic elds may interfere with the

function of cardiac pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-debrillators. As a general

rule, maintain a minimum distance of 6 inches (15 centimeters) between any item with

magnets and your heart device.

2.7 Child Safety

The Tobii PCEye is an advanced computer system and electronic device. As such it is

composed of numerous separate, assembled parts. In the hands of a child certain of

these parts have the possibility of being separated from the device, possibly constituting a

choking hazard or another danger to the child.

Young children should not have access to, or the use of, the device without parental or

guardian supervision.
