HeadMouse Nano emulates a USB computer mouse so no special software is required for operations. It a robust, lightning fast, silky smooth head tracker that works in almost any environment from total darkness to full sun. It translates natural movements of a user's head into directly proportional mouse pointer movement – move your head and the mouse pointer moves as well. A wireless optical sensor tracks a tiny disposable target worn by the user on his/her forehead, glasses, or even a hat. It works just like a computer mouse, with the mouse pointer being controlled by head movement.
The user may be in any comfortable viewing position in front of the computer display and the HeadMouse will track the head movement. HeadMouse Nano's high tracking resolution makes pixel precise control available to everyone, allowing a user to perform such tasks as drawing, photo editing, graphic illustration, and Computer Aided Design (CAD).
HeadMouse Nano connects to the computer, tablet or speech generating device through a USB port and operates using standard mouse drivers. No special software is required. The HeadMouse is powered by the host device, over the USB connection. The integrated tilt sensor automatically adapts to even the most unusual mounting orientations.
