Description
The world’s most advanced eye-driven communication device for those with ALS or Locked-in Syndrome. Much of what alternative gaze-based communications devices “can do” are much the same in terms of speech, internet, computer programs, and home control applications. At the same time, there are significant differences in the core Eyetracking instruments that perform the critical function of measuring precisely where the user is looking. For people with disabilities, reliable long-term use is the most critical capability of any AAC device. Low fatigue, high accuracy, and atypical eye condition accommodations outweigh advantages of any IT application.
How does the Eyegaze Edge® work?
![](https://eyegaze.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Eye-Line-Graphic.png)
Sophisticated image processing software analyzes the camera’s images 60 times each second and determines where the user is looking on the screen.
Nothing is attached to the user’s head or body.
There is no need to recalibrate if the user moves away from the screen and returns later.

The gaze duration required to visually activate a key, typically about ½ second, can be adjusted by the user.
An array of menu keys and exit keys allow the user to navigate the Eyegaze programs independently.

- A user operates the system by looking at rectangular “keys” or cells that are displayed on the control screen. To “press” a key, the user looks at the key for a specified period of time.
- The gaze duration required to visually activate a key, typically about ½ second, can be adjusted by the user.
- An array of menu keys and exit keys allow the user to navigate the Eyegaze programs independently.

*Many things can affect battery life including active tasks, screen brightness, and ambient temperature, so actual battery life may vary considerably from one device user to the next. With no other battery-intensive tasks active and only using the eyegaze camera and software, the internal battery can power the device for *Up to* 3.5 hours before shutting off. This figure gives only one possible scenario.
With the addition of one or more Eyegaze Edge Endurance Packs, battery life can be extended to fit any need. Each Endurance Pack can power the device for *Up to* 10 hours.
