Welcome to Irisbond
Congratulations on purchasing the Irisbond system which will allow you to use a computer simply by
moving your eyes!
The Irisbond system is based on the latest innovations in artificial vision technology, and more specifically,
on
Eye Tracking
technology, which allows the user to control a computer mouse by moving their eyes.
Those who benefit most from the system are people with severe motor impairment who cannot use
conventional mouse movement systems. Individuals with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or Cerebral
Palsy using Irisbond can access a variety of apps installed on the computer. Irisbond gives the user a
window to the world, allowing them to communicate, share experiences and knowledge, watch movies,
read, listen to audiobooks, play...there really is no limit!
In addition, by using Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) tools such as a virtual keyboard,
voice synthesizers and environmental control systems, the user can control the remote control for the TV,
or any other infrared device. For perhaps the first time ever, they will able to control devices at home around
them.
The Irisbond eyetracker is safe to use, complies with relevant European Guidelines and Directives and has
been tested by a certified laboratory in accordance with industry standards.

Irisbond Duo Eyetracker
The system is made up of one eyetracking device connected to computer via a cable
(included with the device) through a USB port (either USB 2.0 or USB 3.0). The
eyetracker emits infrared light beams which create reflections on the user’s corneas. A
camera then registers these reflections and through a series of complex computational
algorithms is able to identify the user’s pupils. The information is then processed by the
computer via the Irisbond Primma software (once installed on the computer). This
allows the user’s eye movements to be translated into onscreen positioning coordinates
for the mouse.
System Components
The Irisbond Duo system comes with the following components:
•1 Irisbond eyetracker.
•1 USB extension cable.
•4 mounting attachments.
