TRACKPixx3 Installation Guide
Overview
This installation guide provides conformity, safety, hardware, installation and maintenance information for VPixx
Technologies Inc.’s TRACKPixx3 Short-Range and Long-Range systems.
The TRACKPixx3 is a versatile 2 kHz eye/gaze-tracking solution supporting both monocular and binocular tracking with a
single mechanical configuration. Interchangeable lenses support tracker distances from 24’’ to over 63’’ (60 cm to over
160 cm) depending on your application needs.
The TRACKPixx3 does not require a dedicated PC to process eye images and generate gaze information; all image
processing is performed within the TRACKPixx3 hardware.
For technical questions or product support information, do not hesitate to contact the VPixx support team by phone or
