Look User’s Guide 5
Introducing Your Look Eye Tracking System
Look®is an eye tracking system that provides hands-free, switch-free access to an Accent® device, allowing
the user to select keys by gazing for a specified period of time to generate speech. The Look eye tracking
system is compatible with Accent 1400-20 models, Accent 1400-30 models, and Accent 1000 models that
have serial numbers 10000AC10 and higher or serial numbers between 5000AC10 and 9999AC10.
Before Using Your Look Eye Tracking System
Please be sure to view the Important Safety Guidelines on page 4.
Mounting Your Accent Device and Look Module
Mount your Accent device (with the Look module attached) to a wheelchair mount or table stand. If the
Look module did not come already attached to your device, you must attach it before you can start
using eye tracking.
•For instructions on attaching a Look module to an Accent 1000 device with a serial number
10000AC10 or higher or a serial number between 5000AC10 and 9999AC10, see “Attaching the
Look Module: Accent 1000” on page 6.
•For instructions on attaching a Look module to an Accent 1400 device, see “Attaching the Look
Module: Accent 1400-20” on page 8.
•For instructions on attaching a Look module to an Accent 1400 device, see “Attaching the Look
Module: Accent 1400-30” on page 10.
Additional Considerations
If you are using your Accent for the first time, plug in the battery charger.
When your Accent with the Look module attached is mounted on a wheelchair or a table stand and
the Accent is charged, you are ready to position the user, calibrate eye tracking, and configure a
selection method.

Look User’s Guide 6
Attaching the Look Module: Accent 1000
If you purchased the Look eye tracking system with your Accent 1000, the module is already attached to

Look User’s Guide 12
Positioning the User and Eye Tracking System
Select the Tracking is ON/Tracking is OFF dropdown and select Pause. The dropdown will show Tracking is
OFF. You are now ready to position the user and the Look module.
The positioning the eye tracking system in relation to the user is extremely important. The goal of
positioning is to achieve a stable eye image for the Look eye tracking system to track. Because of this,
you will probably need to try out different positions.
Look Eye Tracking System Parameters
The Look eye tracking system has an imaginary “eye box" that measures approximately 12" x 14" x 14".
As long as the user’s eyes are within this area, they are in the view range of the system. Position the user
between 18 inches and 32 inches from the Accent device screen. The optimal distance for most users is
22 to 26 inches. The optimal distance varies by user.
If the user moves in and out of the view area, the system will "remember" him or her. This means that
once you set up the system you should not have to recalibrate it because of the user’s body movement.
Imaginary Eye Box (or Gazing Area)

Look User’s Guide 13
Positioning Guidelines
Meeting these positioning guidelines will help you achieve success with the Look eye tracking system.
•Both eyes must be within the eye box; however, one eye will work.
•The user should be approximately 22 to 26 inches from the Accent device’s screen.
•The user’s nose should be aimed at the midpoint or upper two-thirds of the screen.
•The user’s face should be parallel to the screen. If the user is tilted due to positioning or posture,
the Accent device should be tilted at a similar angle.
•There should be no obstructions between the user’s face and the Accent device and Look
module.
Typically, a communication partner helps during the eye tracking setup process.
•The communication partner can pause and resume eye tracking by touching with a finger the
miniaturized positioning guide in the Multi-bar. Blue indicates eye tracking is active. Grey
indicates eye tracking is paused.
•While selecting menu options the communication partner can touch the with a finger.

Look User’s Guide 14
Calibrating and Setting Up Eye Tracking in
Empower
Note: Accent devices ship with two software options—Empower and NuVoice. Choose which software to
use based on your preferences and the features available. For information on how to use eye tracking with
NuVoice software, please see “Calibrating and Setting Up Eye Tracking in NuVoice”, beginning on page 25.
Starting Eye Tracking in Empower
Note: Eye Tracking appears as a selection only if you have an eye tracking module connected to your device.
To use eye movement to control your device, select Menu > Toolbox > User Settings > Access Method >
Eye Tracking.
•The Eye Tracking window displays the positioning guide with calibration and eye tracking settings.
•A Tracking is ON/Tracking is OFF dropdown appears at the top of the screen.
Once you configure eye tracking as the access method for a user, eye tracking is active and all settings
saved for that user take effect immediately.
Recommendation: While the user is getting used to eye tracking, take frequent breaks to rest
the user’s eyes and relax his or her concentration.
Using the Positioning Guide
When you select Eye Tracking from the Access Methods window, the Eye Tracking window displays the
positioning guide with calibration and eye tracking settings.
Use the positioning guide to make sure the eye tracking module is registering the user’s eyes. Green
indicates good positioning and red indicates poor positioning. When two medium green dots are
displayed and stable, the user is within the positioning box and ready to calibrate.
Note: The dots do not need to be in the center of the box; the system is registering the user’s eyes as
long as the dots are green.
If the user closes one eye or it is obstructed, the corresponding dot disappears.
If the user moves farther away or closer, the dots decrease or increase in size. The dots turn red if the user
moves too far back, too close, or too far off to the side. The tracking box shows the user’s distance from
the device.
When the user is positioned correctly, “Ready to calibrate” appears.

Look User’s Guide 15
Calibrating Eye Tracking
Calibration is the process by which eye tracking adjusts to the eyes of the person using it. It helps
determine where the user is looking on the screen.
When the positioning guide shows “Ready to calibrate”, select Calibrate Now from the Eye Tracking
window. A solid colored screen will appear, and the user will be shown a sequence of points. Have the
user focus on the center of each point as it appears until the next point appears.
When the user finishes focusing on points, the Calibration Results window opens.
If the results are unsatisfactory, select Recalibrate and try again. The user may need several tries to
obtain an accurate calibration.
Recommendation: Be sure to take breaks to avoid fatiguing the user or losing his or her
attention. If
Default calibration settings will be used unless you change them in Calibration Settings. For information on
configuring the number of calibration points and other eye tracking settings, see “Adjusting Eye Tracking
Selection Settings” and “Adjusting Eye Tracking Settings”.
To cancel a calibration:
To cancel a calibration, do any of the following:
•Tap the screen with your finger.
•Stop looking at the display. The calibration will time out.
•Finish the calibration and then perform another, more accurate, one.

Look User’s Guide 16
Configuring Calibration Settings
Calibration settings can be changed to improve the user experience. From the Eye Tracking window,
select Calibration Settings and then select the Settings tab.
Setting the Number of Calibration Points
Number of Calibration Points determines the number of stimulus points the user will look at during
calibration. The available settings are 0, 1, 2, 5, and 9; the default is 5. The more points you have to
follow, the more accurate the calibration will be.
The setting 9, for example, displays a sequence of nine stimulus points during the calibration process:
one at each corner, one at the top, one at the bottom, one on each side, and one in the middle. If you
select 1, only one stimulus point will be displayed for the calibration process.
Hint: If visual attention is poor, try using 0, 1, or 2 calibration points. This is a quick and easy way
to get started and get the individual used to using his or her eyes for control.
Setting the Active Eye
Select which of the user’s eyes will be recognized during the calibration process.
•If both of the user’s eyes function within normal limits, select Both.
•If one of the user’s eyes is more controlled than the other or if one eye is obstructed, select Left
Only or Right Only.
Setting the Background Color
Select the background color for the calibration screen.
Selecting and Resizing the Stimulus Image
From the Eye Tracking window, select Calibration Settings and then select the Stimulus tab. Select the
image the user’s eyes will follow during calibration.
1. Select the Stimulus Type. If you select one of the animated images, the stimulus image will be
animated during calibration.
2. Adjust the Stimulus Size. Move the slider or use the +and –buttons to select the size you want.
Available sizes are S (small), M (medium), L (large), and XL (extra large).
3. When you finish changing calibration settings, select Finished.
Recommendation: When initially setting up eye
tracking, adjustments are commonly made to the
stimulus type and number of calibration points. It
may take several tries to obtain an accurate
calibration. Be sure to take breaks to avoid
fatiguing the user or losing his or her attention.

Look User’s Guide 17
Adjusting Eye Tracking Selection Settings
Select Menu > Toolbox > User Settings > Access Method > Eye Tracking. From the Eye Tracking window,
select Eye Tracking Settings. The Eye Tracking window opens to the Selection tab.
Three methods are available for selecting a button on the screen.
Dwell: Select a button by dwelling on it. Buttons are selected automatically according to the Dwell
Time you choose.
Blink: Select a button by blinking volitionally. Use the Minimum Blink Duration and Maximum Blink
Duration sliders to adjust the amount of time you must close your eyes for the eye tracking system to
register a blink.
Switch:The user moves the cursor with his or her eyes and makes selections by activating a switch.
Use the slider to adjust switch selection time.
Setting up Dwell Selection
Selection Type
In the Eye Tracking window, with the Selection tab selected, select the Dwell tab. When Dwell is
selected, you can select a button by dwelling on it. Buttons are selected automatically according to
the dwell time you choose.
Dwell Time
Adjust the amount of time you need to gaze on a button to select it. Dwell time ranges from 0.0 to 10.0.
Repeat Delay
Repeat delay allows you to set how soon a button press will begin repeating when you continue to gaze
at a button beyond its initial dwell time. This setting is only available when the Dwell tab is selected.
Repeat Rate
Repeat Rate is the speed at which a button will repeat itself when you dwell on it. This setting is only
available when the repeat delay is set higher than 0.0.

Look User’s Guide 18
Setting up Blink Selection
When Blink is selected, you can blink to make a selection. Minimum Blink Duration and Maximum Blink
Duration settings are available. The eye tracking unit will ignore blinks that are of shorter or longer
duration than the minimum and maximum settings.
Minimum Blink Duration
Adjust the minimum amount of time you must close your eyes for the eye tracking unit to register a
blink. The minimum duration must be less than the maximum duration. Values range from 0.0 to 9.8.
Hint: Try using the default setting. If you need to change the setting, the minimum duration
should be long enough that normal blinks do not activate a button.
Maximum Blink Duration
Adjust the maximum amount of time your eyes can be closed and still make a selection when they open.
The maximum duration must be greater than the maximum duration. Values range from 0.1 to 10.00.
Hint: Try using the default setting. If you need to change the setting, the maximum duration
should be long enough that you can finish a blink before the maximum time has accumulated.
You do not want to make the maximum duration time so long that if your head turns away from
the screen and then back again, the system sees that as a selection.
Setting up Switch Selection
When you choose the Switch selection type, you can use a switch to make a selection. Adjust switch
settings as follows:
Switch Selection Time
Adjust how long you must hold the switch to make a selection. Selection time ranges from 0 to 10
seconds.
Next Button Selection Delay
Adjust how long you must wait after releasing the switch before making your next selection. Selection
delay ranges from 0 to 10 seconds.
Repeat Delay
Adjust how long to hold the switch down before the button selection begins to repeat itself.
Repeat Rate
Adjust the speed at which a button selection will repeat after the repeat delay has been met.

Look User’s Guide 19
Pausing and Resuming Eye Tracking

When you want to pause eye tracking but still be able to make menu selections with a finger, select
Pause. Select Resume to resume using eye tracking. During setup, it is best to pause eye tracking until
you are ready to calibrate.
Show or hide the Tracking is ON/Tracking is OFF dropdown
Select Menu > Toolbox > User Settings > Access Method > Eye Tracking Settings and then select the
Settings tab. Select the Pause/Resume Dropdown toggle to turn the dropdown on or off.
Communication Partner: Quickly pause and resume eye tracking
The communication partner can pause and resume eye tracking by touching with a finger the
miniaturized positioning guide in the Multi-bar. Blue indicates eye tracking is active. Grey indicates eye
tracking is paused.
Observing the User’s Performance
Observe the user’s performance while using the default eye tracking settings and note any difficulties
the user is experiencing. This will help you decide if adjustments are needed. If you need to adjust some
settings, use the information in the following sections.

Look User’s Guide 20
Adjusting Eye Tracking Settings
From the Eye Tracking window, select Eye Tracking Settings and then select the Tracking tab.
Filter Method
The filter methods help smooth the movement of the cursor.
Setting Description
Stream The cursor moves with the eye wherever you look on the screen. This method works well for
most users and at all ranges of smoothing.
Snap Cursor movement is “sticky” as it snaps to the nearest selectable item within a set range. This
method works well for users who have significant shifts in gaze—poor visual attention, frequent
and constant head movement, or severe nystagmus.
Group This method works well for users who have frequent shifts in gaze (mild to moderate
nystagmus) around a central point.
Stream/Snap Cursor movement changes as needed between stream and snap.
Stream/Group Cursor movement changes as needed between stream and group.
Smoothing
When you select a smoothing value, the eye tracking unit will continually average the last X number of
eye movement signals it receives. This helps to smooth pointer movements. The lower the number of
samples the closer the cursor follows the actual gaze-point. The higher the number of samples the more
the cursor lags behind the actual gaze-point. If the cursor/pointer is very jumpy, increase the number of
samples. The higher you increase this number, the smoother (but slower) the pointer movement will be.
Values range from 1 to 10.
