AccuPoint™ by InvoTek enables a person to control a computer hands-free using only their head movements. It is a movement tracking system that enables users to control a computer with a wide range of movements - from very small to very large - while distinguishing tremors from intentional movements.

AccuPoint gives you control of a computer by moving your head. You can move the mouse cursor, click on icons, and type in letters using our on-screen keyboard. Anything you can do with a mouse and keyboard, you can do with AccuPoint.
AccuPoint works with the vast majority of software programs, including all email, web browser, and Microsoft Office applications. We have run across a few programs that misbehave. If we do have a problem, it usually occurs with older games that use non-standard mouse or keyboard interfaces.
How It Works
AccuPoint tracks the movement of a small cluster of dots affixed by double-sided tape to the user — there are no wires or equipment connected to the person. While we anticipate that most people will use the AccuPoint system for head tracking, the device can track anything the cluster is attached to – fingers, toes, anything!
To get started the user sits in a relaxed position a couple of feet in front of AccuPoint. AccuPoint will find the dot cluster with its cameras and present a calibration target. Once calibrated, the cursor remains aligned to the user's head.
To select items on the computer screen the user points to the desired spot and holds their head still -- a process called "dwell." The user can set the dwell time, and dwell can be turned on and off to prevent inadvertent clicking. If the user prefers switch input to dwelling, there are two programmable switch ports on the back panel of AccuPoint for inputting left and right mouse clicks via the user’s favorite switch.
Each of InvoTek's software programs offers a wide range of settings to optimize AccuPoint for the user. You can adjust the amount of head movement that is required to move the cursor across the screen and add filtering to remove the effects of head jitter.
AccuPoint has a standard threaded mounting hole used by photographers for mounting cameras. A small tripod is included along with a plastic pocket for easily mounting AccuPoint to a laptop mount. Weighs only 9 ounces and connects to computers running Windows XP, Vista or 7 operating systems via a USB port.
AccuPoint Software Suite
Three diverse software programs are included with any AccuPoint system to meet a wide range of needs. Most users require no additional access software.
