TD Pilot
STEP 1 – Turn the device on
Press the power button on the back right of the TD Pilot to turn on the eye tracker. Press the power button on the left side of the TD Pilot to turn on the iPad.
STEP 2 – Mount & Position
Make sure the user is positioned comfortably.
Mounting
- Adjust screen height with the included mount.
- Adjust seating if possible.
- Use a height-adjustable table if required.
Positioning device user
- Adjust the eye tracker/screen angle to suit the user.
- Position at a distance of 45-70 cm away from the screen.
- Make sure the eye tracker is level with or just below the user’s eyes.
- If the user’s head is normally tilted, tilt the screen to match.
- If the user is usually in a reclined position, then a specialised mount may be required to position the screen.
Track Status
- Track status can be accessed by tapping the TD Co Pilot app.
- The two white dots show where the user’s eyes are positioned. These must be in the middle of the black area.
- The white arrow in the green area shows the distance from the screen. Move the device closer or further away until the arrow is in the green area and the eyes are in a central position.
STEP 3 – Calibrate
Calibrate the user’s eyes within Eye Tracking Settings.
- Tap TD Co Pilot and check the track status positioning.
- Select settings to choose which eye/eyes to track and the number of calibration points.
- When ready to calibrate, select calibrate. Follow the on-screen instructions.
- Improve points if needed.
The user does not need to calibrate every time if the position is right. There are also different options for accessing calibration and calibration settings within the communication app being used.
