Eye Control Technologies, Inc. Launches NaturalPoint™ trackIR™

Corvallis, OR (March 20, 2001) Today Eye Control Technologies, Inc. announced the launch of their revolutionary trackIR™ cursor control system. The $99.00 web cam sized device lets users control a computer’s cursor by simply turning their head or pointing with their fingers. 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 to 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 revolutionize the way you interact with your computer," predicts Eye Control Technologies President, Jim Richardson. "Our vision is to give users another cursor control option by introducing them to the concept of using natural motion rather than constantly reaching for the mouse, which hurts productivity and can cause carpel-tunnel syndrome.”

The trackIR™ comes with a software package that allows users 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 any mouse. Our software package is designed to help everyone from people with disabilities to business professionals become more productive and have more fun with their computers.”

Eye Control Technologies Communications Director, Mike Vial expects the trackIR™ to be a big hit with computer gaming enthusiasts as well. “First person shooter and role playing games will take on a whole new level of realism and excitement. Instead of reaching for a mouse to control things like field of view or targeting you can just turn your head to look, or point with your finger to shoot.”
