Step A) Posion the monitor so that it subtends no more than 32 degrees of visual angle horizontally
and 25 degrees of visual angle vercally for the parcipant. The eye-to-monitor distance should be at
least 1.75 mes the display width to ensure that it falls within the trackable range.
Step B) Posion the parcipant so that the eyes align with the top quarter of the monitor – adjust the
chair and/or head support to ensure this alignment.
Step C) Posion the eye tracker so that the distance from the top knob on the front of the Desktop
Mount to the front of the chinrest is 50-55 cm. If using Remote Mode, make sure that the reported
target distance on the Host PC is around 60 cm (55-60 cm is ideal for calibraon).
Step D) Adjust the height of the eye tracker so that it is as high as possible without blocking the
parcipant’s view of the display.
