HeadMouse Nano

HeadMouse Nano replaces the standard computer mouse for people who cannot use or have limited use of their hands when controlling a computer or augmentative communication device. The HeadMouse translates natural movements of a user's head into directly proportional movements of the computer mouse pointer. The HeadMouse has a wireless optical sensor which tracks a tiny disposable target that is conveniently placed on the users forehead, glasses, hat, etc. It works just like a computer mouse, with the mouse pointer being moved by the motion of the user's head.

The HeadMouse will track the user's head with the user located in any comfortable viewing position relative to the computer display. Resolution of the HeadMouse is precise to allow a user to control the mouse pointer down to the minimum, pixel perfect, resolution of the computer display. This precision allows a user to perform such tasks as drawing, gaming, graphics work and Computer Aided Design (CAD).

HeadMouse Nano connects to the computer or augmentative communication device through a USB port and operates using standard mouse drivers. No special software is required. The HeadMouse is powered by the host device, over the USB connection. The integrated electronic tilt sensor automatically adapts to even the most unusual mounting requirements.

Selections can be performed using a variety of adaptive switches, including Origin Instruments Sip/Puff Switch, Orby Switch, and mouse button software, such as Dragger. Using Dragger, mouse clicks are performed by positioning the pointer and dwelling for a selectable period of time. HeadMouse Nano...

HeadMouse Nano also comes with a built-in infrared receiver that provides optional wireless connections for adaptive switches. Beam is available for wireless transfer of adaptive switch inputs from a wheelchair to the integrated receiver.

When used with an on-screen keyboard such as SofType or KeyStrokes, HeadMouse provides head-controlled access to all of the full range of functions for both keyboard and mouse, and to thousands of standard personal computer applications including Internet access.

Access for Alternative and Augmentative Communication Devices

HeadMouse Nano provides reliable head-controlled access to augmentative communication devices that provide speech and environmental control. HeadMouse Nano integrates conveniently with systems from a variety of suppliers, DynaVox Systems, Jabbla, Prentke Romich, Tobii, Words+ and others.

If an augmentative communication device can be accessed with a standard mouse then it should be accessible with a HeadMouse.
