How Tobii Dynavox eye tracking works

A short video that explains the basics of how Tobii Dynavox eye tracking works and what makes our technology different from others.
As a concept, eye tracking is a rather straight forward process.
The eye tracker sends out near infrared light
The light is reflected in your eyes
Those reflections are picked up by the eye tracker’s cameras
Through filtering and calculations the eye tracker knows where you are looking
As simple as the concept may be, an enormous amount of research and development has gone into Tobii Dynavox eye trackers to make them work in a simple and unobtrusive way.

Thank you guys for this product, I'm on the way to Ukraine and am bringing this for one of my students whose mother has ALS. Life is difficult.

[@oliviabasham]

People like you make it easier.

[@ALbertoDoriguzzi]

Great stuff. Used something similar with my dad in retirement home. Thanks guys, you made many people happy.

[@Beaneabean]

Am I the only one who thought it worked by reading your mind?....

[@Tobiidynavox]

That sounds a bit scary to us, Karynna! But who knows what the future holds!

[@jocelynh734]

That is why I looked it up on KZbin lol

this is amazing just saw a student from denmark use it to gratuate with incredible marks! such an interesting and useful technology ❤️

[@Koriiii]

I was just looking at this for video games using no aim! XD

[@SophieTalksTooMuch]

This is super cool, science is amazing and I’m so glad that those who need it and have access to this can communicate! That’s awesome! My brother has a Tobii Dynavox and no one taught him how to use it, his speech therapist didn’t even know the program so I’m trying to learn so I can teach him how to use it, great stuff!

[@jlhewitt87]

Is there a difference in hardware/software abilities between Tobii Dynavox or Tobii gaming products? Would Tobii Gaming products be beneficial to those with uncontrolled head movements as Tobii Dynavox is?

[@Tobiidynavox]

Hi Jeremy, to answer your question in detail, please take a look at our FAQ and infographics on our website, displaying the different options: www.tobiidynavox.com/support-training/Tobii-and-Microsoft/

[@s13rr4buf3]

​@@TobiidynavoxIt's been 6 years now. That page doesn't seem to still be available on the site. I have the same question.

[@Tobiidynavox]

Tobii Dynavox AAC solutions are medically certified devices. They use Tobii’s world-leading eye tracking technology to enable people with disabilities (such as cerebral palsy, ALS, or spinal cord injury) to control an iPad, computer or or similar device using their eyes. This empowers them with a voice of their own and supports living a more independent life with useful apps. @@s13rr4buf3

[@s13rr4buf3]

​@@TobiidynavoxThank you. Is it possible for an able-bodied person to use this eye tracker as a supplement to a mouse and keyboard? Can it save me time?

[@sum1anywhere]

Annoyingly it does not show the screen and pointer on it long enough and movement and clicks.

I'm curious to see how this product was developed.

[@Tobiidynavox]

Hi Teh, thanks for your message. That's a great question. We don't have any development videos or articles right now, but it is a great idea. We will make sure to pass this on to the right department, so they can have a look at it.

[@Tobiidynavox]

Hi there, in the video we are touching a couple of points already how this product was developed (algorithms, 3D eye model...) and a little bit more insight you can find in this video from Tobii Tech: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5ndpHd-hM-InsU

[@theewanger3786]

This is insane

[@elise3455]

As someone who has been struggling with repetitive strain injury (RSI) in my hands for a few years now I feel like this might be a good investment. Question is, can you still click on small icons that require accurate mouse precision?

[@Tobiidynavox]

Hi Elise, thanks for your message. That's a good question! Our eye trackers are specifically designed for these situations. You will, for example, be able to zoom in/highlight parts that require accurate precision. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with our customer service.
