Progressing to use an eye tracking device…

进一步使用眼动仪…

  1. You will need a computer/laptop/tablet that meets the minimum requirements of your chosen eye tracker. Very broadly speaking you will need at least an Intel i5 processor, at least one USB 3.0 port (USB 2.0 will not work with most tracking devices, although I think you may be able to use the Tobii REX over USB 2.0) and a screen size large enough to be used comfortably (13-15” minimum) and no more than 24” (although it may be possible to use a larger screen if Windows is limited to only cover 24”, e.g. when using Parallels to run Windows on a Mac).
  2. Purchase one of the low cost eye tracking devices. I would recommend the Tobii EyeX tracker or Eye Tribe tracker, but the full list of supported eye tracking devices can be found here.
  3. Follow the steps on the ‘Using eye trackers’ page which guide you through the process of setting up your tracker to work with OptiKey.
  4. Have fun controlling your computer and speaking using only your eyes. If you have time please consider sending me an email to let me know how you are finding OptiKey - your feedback is invaluable. optikeyfeedback@gmail.com

  5. 首先需要一台满足眼动仪最低配置要求的电脑/笔记本电脑/平板电脑。一般而言,需要至少 Intel i5 的 CPU,USB 3.0(虽然通过 USB 2.0 也可以使用 Tobii REX,但是大部分眼动仪都不支持 USB 2.0),一个尺寸足够大的屏幕(最小13-15寸)但不要超过 24 寸(如果使用更大的屏幕,可以把 Windows 窗口限制为 24 寸,比如在 Mac 上使用 Parallels 虚拟机运行 Windows)。

  6. 购买一个性价比高的眼动仪。我推荐 Tobii EyeX tracker 或者 Eye Tribe tracker。OptiKey 支持的完整设备清单可以参阅这里
  7. 参照“使用眼动仪”页面的步骤,完成眼动仪的配置。
  8. 接下来就可以直接使用眼睛控制电脑和发声,如果您有时间,还请您能给我发一封邮件,告诉我您使用 OptiKey 的体验 - 您的反馈意见十分宝贵。optikeyfeedback@gmail.com

If you are unsure which computer/laptop/tablet to purchase and are considering spending a lot of money then please email me - I can offer personal advice on how to target the sweet spot between cost and performance (and screen size).

如果您不确定该买什么样的电脑/笔记本电脑/平板电脑,并考虑在这方面有足够的预算,可以发邮件给我 - 我可以在价格和性能(包括屏幕尺寸)方面提供一些个人的建议。
