Before getting started… 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 articial vision
technology, and more specically, on Eye Tracking technology, which allows
the user to control a computer mouse by moving their eyes. Those who benet
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 rst time ever, they will be able to control devices at
home around them.

IRISBOND Hiru Eye tracker
The system consists of one eye tracking device connected to the computer via
a cable (included with the device) through a USB port. The eye tracker emits
infrared light beams which create reections on the user’s corneas. A camera
then registers these reections and through a series of complex computational
algorithms can identify the user’s pupils. The information is then processed in
the Hiru and sent to the software via the USB cable. This allows the user’s eye
movements to be translated into onscreen positioning coordinates for the mouse.
The Hiru eye tracker can be switched between different computers and
operating systems, if Hiru has a valid license, and the device with the minimum
requirements listed below.
Components included
The IRISBOND Hiru system comes with the following components:
1 IRISBOND Eye tracker.
1 Holder + 2 Screws + 2 Magnet strips.
1 USB C-A Cable (50 cm.)
1 Adapter A-C for e.g. iPad Pro.
