Eye control app windows 10 что это
Как использовать функцию Eye Control в Windows 10
Список поддерживаемых устройств контроля зрения:
Как я уже говорил выше, эта функция использует специальное оборудование, и есть только несколько совместимых устройств. Он включает в себя оборудование от EyeTech и Tobii. Хотя EyeTech перечисляет только TM5 Mini, Tobii включает Eye Tracker 4C, EyeX, Dynavox PCEye Plus, EyeMobile Mini & Plus, PCEye Mini и Explore, а также I-Series +.
Устройство пытается выяснить, где вы смотрите на экран, а затем превращается в курсор мыши. Затем, когда вы двигаете глазами, он может определить изменения.
Включить контроль глаз в Windows 10
Чтобы выбрать одну из кнопок на панели запуска, вам нужно постоянно смотреть на нее и искать определенное количество времени. Microsoft называет это Dwelling, а количество времени называется временем ожидания. Вы также можете приостановить контроль зрения, если вы делаете что-то вроде просмотра фильма и не хотите, чтобы ваши движения глаз случайно выбирали кнопки на панели запуска.
Как управлять мышью с помощью Eye Control
Как прокручивать/масштабировать веб-страницы и приложения с помощью Eye Control
Для прокрутки необходимо остановиться на кнопке прокрутки панели запуска. После активации, когда вы смотрите вниз и вверх, он прокручивается соответственно. Вы можете прокручивать влево или вправо таким же образом. Эта часть немного сложнее, хотя. Чем дольше вы останавливаетесь на любой из этих кнопок, тем быстрее вы будете прокручивать. Поэтому, когда вам нужно остановиться, смотрите за кадром
Как набирать текст с помощью клавиатуры Eye Control
После того же процесса снова нажмите кнопку клавиатуры на панели запуска, а затем введите символы, которые вы хотите ввести. Тем не менее, обязательно используйте программную клавиатуру при ее использовании. Текстовые предложения лучше всего работают в этом случае, поэтому обязательно посмотрите на них, чтобы выбрать его. На данный момент Eye Control поддерживает только американскую раскладку клавиатуры на английском языке.
Как настроить и изменить настройки контроля глаз
Это займет время, чтобы привыкнуть, и Microsoft предложила только правильные варианты настройки времени задержки для всех из них. Чтобы изменить их, остановитесь на настройках Eye control на панели запуска. Вы можете изменить следующие настройки:
Используйте текст для речи с контролем глаз
Тем не менее, вам, возможно, придется настроить параметры речи, особенно голос. Перейдите в Пуск > Настройки > Время и язык > Речь и выберите голос в меню в разделе Текст в речь.
Ограничения контроля глаз:
Наилучшие результаты для контроля глаз проявляются, когда вы не находитесь в экстремальных условиях, включая яркий солнечный свет, поскольку он не сможет отследить местоположение ваших глаз. Это также немного меняется при использовании очков и цвета глаз, размера глаз или формы глаз. Энтузиасту конфиденциальности также следует знать, что на данный момент Microsoft не собирает, не хранит и не передает информацию отслеживания глаз. Windows Eye Control не поддерживается в Windows 10 S.
В Windows 10 станет доступна технология ввода и управления компьютером при помощи взгляда
2 August 2017 | Пресс-центр
Одни функции из набора Eye Control призваны заменить мышь, другие — клавиатуру. Новаторский способ распознавания shape – writing позволяет быстро вводить текст движениями глаз: пользователь, глядя на виртуальную клавиатуру, задерживает взгляд на первой букве слова, а затем может быстро провести глазами по всем следующим символам.
Это значительно более эффективно, чем ввод по одной букве, который требует задерживать взгляд на каждой из них. Пользователям Eye Control также доступны подсказки, которые ещё сильнее упрощают процесс печати взглядом.
Чтобы использовать новые функции системы, потребуется контроллер-камера Eye Tracker 4C компании Tobii. Подробное руководство о том, как настроить и использовать эту систему, можно найти в блоге компании.
За разработку Eye Control в Microsoft теперь отвечает специальная команда разработчиков, тогда как начиналось всё в рамках проекта на недельном хакатоне в 2014 году. По его результатам судьи выбрали победителей среди 3000 проектов, а глава компании Сатья Наделла вручил главный приз создателям технологии, которая легла в основу Eye Control.
Вдохновением для членов команды стало письмо Стива Глисона — бывшего знаменитого игрока в американский футбол, страдающего от болезни моторных нейронов. Глисон призывал создать новые технологические решения, которые могли бы облегчить жизнь людям, ограниченным в возможности двигаться.
Eye Control for Windows 10
Allows users to operate an onscreen mouse, keyboard, and text-to-speech experience using only their eyes
About Eye Control for Windows 10
Eye Control makes Windows 10 more accessible by empowering people with disabilities to operate an onscreen mouse, keyboard, and text-to-speech experience using only their eyes. The experience requires a compatible eye tracker, like the Tobii 4C, which unlocks access to the Windows operating system to be able to do the tasks one could previously accomplish with a physical mouse and keyboard.
Windows 10 users can perform tasks which previously required using physical mouse and keyboard. With native eye tracking support now in Windows 10, users are empowered to use just their eyes to utilize Windows features, including typing and moving of the mouse cursor.

Journey
Their vision was simple, said Matthew Mack, one of the leaders of the 2014 Hackathon team known as Ability Eye Gaze. “Steve had issued a challenge to Microsoft to develop technology to help people with ALS, specifically to help him communicate more easily, play with his son and move his wheelchair independently.”
The Eye Gaze team had set out to do a project to help Steve Gleason, a former pro football player who is living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Gleason’s foundation aims to raise awareness about ALS, as well as to give others living with it the “leading edge technology, equipment and services” they need. The project united two dozen researchers, engineers, designers, program managers and media pros from across Microsoft, and was one of the 3,000-plus teams that participated in Microsoft’s first-ever global Hackathon. The team aimed to use Surface 3, Kinect and other Microsoft technologies to give independence to people with disabilities.
Clear, powerful—and, according to their colleagues and the company’s senior leaders, the most transformative idea to come out of the Hackathon, netting it the Grand Prize award for 2014. And it was only the first chapter of the story.
The project was received so enthusiastically by employees and the ALS community that a new Microsoft Research team was created to understand the potential of eye-tracking technology. The Microsoft Enable team in Microsoft Artificial Intelligence & Research started to work closely with Steve’s nonprofit, Team Gleason as well as the ALS Association (ALSA) Evergreen Chapter, an organization that supports people living with ALS and their loved ones through services and education. When the Windows team came across this technology, they immediately saw the potential for eye tracking to change people’s lives, and assigned a team of engineers to bring eye tracking support to Windows.
Three years after the first prototype at the 2014 Hackathon, Windows 10 now includes built-in eye tracking support and an experience called Eye Control that empowers people with disabilities to use a compatible eye tracker to operate an on-screen mouse, keyboard and text-to-speech experience in Windows 10 using only their eyes. “Having Eye Control in Windows 10 continues to bridge the gap between widely used technology and people with disabilities. It’s simply liberating,” summarizes Steve.

American Foundation for the Blind Announces 2018 Helen Keller Achievement Award Winners
Microsoft is being honored for its significant strides in developing inclusive technologies to empower people with disabilities. Examples include the launch of the Seeing AI app, which narrates the world for people who are blind or have sight loss. Eye Control on Windows 10 is a new input that allows individuals with severe mobility issues, such as those that stem from Lou Gehrig’s disease, to communicate and use a computer with only the movement of their eyes. Many of the enhancements in Office 365 include accessibility improvements, such as optical character recognition in Office Lens, which inputs content directly into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote. For entertainment, Xbox One updates, like Copilot and the Accessibility API, make the system even more accessible to people with disabilities.

Set up an eye tracking device
This guide helps you to set up and calibrate your eye tracking device for use with Windows eye control. We have tested it with the Tobii Eye Tracker 4C device; your experience with other devices may vary.
What you need to get started
Eye tracking device
Eye control supports the following eye tracking devices:
Tobii Eye Tracker 4C
Tobii Dynavox PCEye Plus
Tobii Dynavox EyeMobile Mini
Tobii Dynavox EyeMobile Plus
Tobii Dynavox PCEye Mini
Tobii Dynavox PCEye Explore
Tobii Dynavox I-Series+
Selected laptops and monitors that include eye tracking integrations
Windows 11
Eye control is available in Windows 11 in all regions. However, the eye control keyboard only supports the EN-US keyboard layout, and some eye control settings are only available in English. The Region and Language settings of your PC don’t need to be changed; they don’t affect eye control use.
Someone to assist you
You may need the help of a friend, family member, or caregiver to complete the set-up and to change eye control settings.
Set up the device
Connect the device
Open the box and take out the Tobii Eye Tracker 4C device, one of the supplied magnets, and the illustrated installation guide. If your PC’s USB ports are located far from your screen, you might also need the USB extension cable.
Peel off the sticker protecting the glue and attach the magnet under your screen as shown in the illustrated guide.
Attach the device to the magnet and connect it to your PC’s USB port as shown in the illustrated guide.
Note: The glue behind the magnet is quite strong, so be careful to attach it to the right place. You might not be able to remove the magnet without breaking it.
Note: The device can easily come loose when you move or bend the USB cable, so you should plan the position of the device in relation to your USB port in advance, and bend the cable to roughly the right shape before attaching the device.
Install the software

The screen shows your eyes as two dots inside a rectangle. Move your eyes and head a little to confirm that the device can track your eyes.
After a moment, the screen shows a series of blue dots. Look at each dot (one at a time) until it explodes. After you have done this a few times, a Calibration successful! message is displayed. If you take too long to move your eyes to the next dot after one explodes, the calibration sequence starts from the beginning.
Type a name for your user profile and select Save. A separate user profile is needed for each user. A single user may require multiple profiles if they use the computer with and without glasses, for example. You can create additional user profiles later.
Test the Tobii app
The full screen mode of the Tobii Eye Tracking app activates after you save your profile, and the intro starts with background music. You are a pilot in a spaceship, and the screen gives you instructions on how to control the cursor and screen with your eyes and the Spacebar key.
Look around by looking at the edges of the screen.
Look at an asteroid for a moment to have a targeting icon appear around it. Press Spacebar to shoot the asteroid.
If you want to stop piloting your ship before the intro ends automatically, look to your right for the exit button, look at the button for a moment to activate it, and press Spacebar to exit the intro.
The Tobii app presents an overview of various eye control features. Follow the instructions and look at various points on the screen to interact with them.
After you finish watching the overview, the full screen mode deactivates and the Tobii app opens on the right side of the screen. You can use the app to manage your user profiles, test your eye control, and modify eye tracker settings. For more information, go to Use the Tobii Eye Tracking app.
To close the app, press Esc or click anywhere outside the app window.
Use Windows eye control
To turn on eye control, go to Settings > Accessibility > Eye control and turn on the toggle.
Open Eye control settings
When you switch on eye control, the launchpad appears on the screen. For information on how to use the launchpad, go to Eye control basics in Windows.

When your device is activated, eye tracking works inside the Tobii app even if Windows eye control is not switched on. You can look at menu items to move the focus to them and press Spacebar to select them.
To open the Tobii app, select the Tobii icon on the taskbar. If it’s not showing, select the Show hidden icons icon. You can also type «eye» in the taskbar search field and select Tobii Eye Tracking.
Inside the app you can select the following options, starting from the top:
A link to tobiigaming.com, where you can explore games that use eye tracking.
Games and Experiences, where you can download Tobii applications and experience the eye tracker intro and overview again (as you did during the initial set-up).
Interactions lets you change various settings related to touchpad, mouse, and general Windows use, as well as power usage. Here you can also update the Tobii software and reset all settings to their defaults.
Display setup lets you realign the device if its position under your screen has changed.
Gaze Trace enables a bubble which shows how your gaze moves on the screen. To disable the bubble, select Gaze Trace again.
At the bottom, you can see your user profile name and two dots representing your eyes. As you move your head, you can see whether both your eyes are still within the eye tracker’s field of vision. The larger and brighter the dots are, the better your device is tracking your eyes. Select the bottom area to create new user profiles, or test and improve the calibration for the current user profile.
To close the app, press Esc or click anywhere outside the app window.
Troubleshooting
If you’re having problems with eye control, here are some tips that may help. Check out the Eye control troubleshooting guide for more comprehensive troubleshooting help.
Device not working after restarting your PC
After you restart your PC, the eye tracking device might not activate properly. To solve this, try these steps:
Disconnect the device from the USB port and reconnect it.
Press Control + Alt + Delete, select Task Manager, select the Services tab (select More details if the tab is not showing), right-click on Tobii Service, and select Start or Restart. Keep Task Manager running until the service is running.
If the above do not help, uninstall and reinstall the Tobii Eye Tracking app.
Reflections are confusing the device
You might encounter issues with light reflecting from windows or your glasses. Try closing all curtains or blinds in the room. If you can see the screen without glasses, you can also try creating a new user profile for using eye control without glasses.
Your position has changed
Using the eye tracker with a laptop (where the position of your eyes in relation to the screen can easily change) can cause problems. Ideally, calibrate the eye tracker and then do not move the computer and try to keep your position stable. If you need to move the computer and change your position drastically, recalibrate the eye tracker if you run into problems.
