PCEye

Steve has been using his PCEye eye gaze controller for many years. PCEye enables users with limited to no upper limb functionality to work with Windows computers. It comes with TD Control eye gaze software and works well with Windows 11.

Description

I received my Tobii Dynavox PCEye controller early on in my ALS diagnosis. I was working at 3Cloud. One of my key goals was to continue working with ALS as long as possible. 3Cloud gave me the PCEye controller to support me in this. They considered it a reasonable accommodation for my disability.

Getting this device early helped me tremendously. I learned how to use eye gaze technology before I became fully dependent on it. I learned calibration and TD Control.

Today, I use PCEye with my Microsoft Surface Pro tablet. I prefer this hardware setup over my TD I-13. The performance is better and I like Windows 11 more than Windows 10.

One thing to keep in mind is that this controller requires a lot of power. It reduces the battery life on my Surface by 50% or more. The moral of the story is to keep it plugged in as much as possible.
