Hello,
My sister has ALS and was given a laptop with an eye gaze system. I can get the eye gaze to work for me but not her. My sister is mostly in a hospital bed and getting the lap top set up in front of her on table at a level that it detects her eyes is very difficult. Due to the angle of her head it doesn't connect to her well. We try to reposition her but no luck. Even if she gets it to work a little, it doesn't move the mouse exactly where she needs it to go. Maybe our particular system isn't the best? I see other people have ones that seem to be attached to their chair possibly and sits next to them. Any advice is greatly appreciated! She is losing her ability to talk and we are very frustrated! Thank you
