I couldn't find a forum for this. Seemed like the best place.
I can't get my Tobii PCEye to work well with my dad. It works great with myself, my wife with glasses, and someone else with glasses. It doesn't seem to "see" his eyes reliably with or without glasses. Originally I thought it might have to do with his body. I don't think eye tracking works with steven hawking for example…but then I compared a Tobii EyeX to the PCEeye Go and noticed that the cheap one is about twice as accurate when used by myself side by side!
This makes me believe that the lesser PCEye probably isn't working very well with him either!
We have a really old Windows XP Dynavox that someone gave us locally, but it doesn't work as well as these newer trackers. He needs one very soon because his single syllable days are almost over. In a past life he was a remote man and my mom is going crazy changing the channels for him in addition to all of the other ALS stuff she deals with. SHE really needs the eye tracking!
I really want to avoid spending a lot of money on a professional communicator. I'd prefer to make the PCEye Go work. It has windows accessibility software and is natively supported by the Grid. The EyeX can be made to work with the grid on a budget, but the gaze selection is a little better when Grid KNOWS that it is reading an eye tracker and not a mouse!
Does anyone here who has had problems getting eye tracking to work well on someone have any tips? Is it possible that some people just aren't compatible with eye tracking?
