Customizing the Pointer Settings in Eyegaze.
Pointer Settings (located under Customize Eyegaze Settings Menu)
Highlight Keys
This puts a red highlight box around each key your cursor moves to.
About the Cursor
When the cursor is On (default) it works exactly as a mouse cursor does, except that it follows your eye movements rather than the movements of your hand. The cursor shows you where you are, or where you are going, on your display screen.
Show Cursor
The cursor on your device is a hand. If you turn the cursor Off, you will no longer see the hand.
Note: If you have a USB mouse plugged into your Accent, you will see the hand (cursor) whether this option is On or Off.
Cursor Size
Small is the default. You can change it to Medium or Large.
Cursor Color
You can change the color of the hand.
About the Pointer
The Pointer tells you what particular object you are focusing on and selects that object if you dwell on it.
Pointer Color
Change the color of your pointer to whatever you want.
Pointer Type
When you focus your gaze on a key, a circle or a square appears over the key to let you know that’s where your focus is. If you dwell on the key long enough (Acceptance Time), it will be selected.
If you select None, you will not see a pointer and you will have no feedback concerning where your eyes are focused or what you might be selecting on the screen.
Pointer Size
You can make the sircle or square larger or smaller.
Pointer Mode
Animated means that the circle or square will shrink in size while the key is being selected. It’s an easy way to tell you have hit your target.
If you select Static, the pointer maintains the same size while the key is selected.
Pointer Border
This puts a darker border around the perimeter of your circle or square. You can select the thickness of the border.
Pointer Transparency
90% transparency means that your circle or square is almost clear. You can barely tell it is on a key.
0% means the pointer is completely opaque. You cannot see through it to read any text that might be on a key.
