Short Description

Tracker Pro is a mouse replacement device that enables people to control the mouse cursor by moving their head. It tracks a small reflective dot which is stuck on the person's forehead or glasses. It operates from the USB port of the computer or a compatible communication device.

Method Of Use

*Plug Tracker Pro into the mouse/USB port (instead of a mouse) and mount it on top of a computer screen, laptop, or augmentative communication device.
*Tracker Pro then tracks a small reflective dot worn on your forehead or glasses.
*When you move your head, Tracker Pro tracks the dot and moves the mouse cursor.
Clicking is done by using switches, or dwell click software. This is holding the mouse pointer in the same spot of the screen for a second or two. Some communication devices may already have this option.

Factors To Consider

*Tracker Pro may be suitable for persons who have little or no control of their hands and are unable to use a standard mouse.
