Eye Control Technologies, Inc. Launches NaturalPoint™ trackIR™

Corvallis, OR (March 13, 2001) Today Eye Control Technologies, Inc. announced the launch of their revolutionary trackIR™ cursor control system.

The $99.00 web cam sized device enables people with disabilities to control a computer’s cursor with simple head motion.

The sleek looking trackIR™ sits on top of a computer monitor, or clips to a laptop screen and uses infrared light and an embedded processor to track users physical motion and determine precise cursor movement.

Spirits are high at the company’s Corvallis, OR headquarters, where staff have been inundated with calls and e-mail from curious computer users.

"The NaturalPoint™ trackIR™ will open up a world of possibilities for people who could not afford a head tracker in the past," predicts Eye Control Technologies President, Jim Richardson. "Other mouse replacement products for people with disabilities are priced in the $1500-$2000 range, which is more than many computers cost right now.”

The trackIR comes with a feature laden software package that allows people with disabilities to tailor the device to suit their needs. Richardson feels that this is a real strength. “When we started this project, we realized that the trackIR™ needed to be more versatile and intuitive than other head trackers and mouse replacements. Our advanced dwell clicking system, and our gravity feature, which helps you grab hard to hit icons and buttons will really appeal to users.”

Eye Control Technologies Communications Director, Mike Vial expects that many people who would have never considered buying a head tracker will be attracted to the unit’s low cost. “Before, the cost of these products was prohibitive for many of the people who could really benefit from this technology. Now, with our product and available keyboard or voice synthesis software many people will have a new communication suite within their reach.”
