Explore the Power of Head Tracking

Head tracking is a smart, reliable access method for individuals with limited mobility who need an alternative to touch-based input. With head tracking technology, your natural head movements become the on-screen cursor. 

How Headtracking with NuPoint Works

Using advanced optical sensors, NuPoint® is a cutting-edge head tracking solution designed for use with Accent® devices. 

1. A small, reflective dot is placed on your forehead, glasses, or another convenient spot
2. NuPoint uses light reflection to detect head movement
3. The on-screen cursor moves in the same direction as your head
4. Selections are made with switches or by dwelling over the desired key—no clicks or taps required 

This seamless interaction allows users to navigate their device with precision and ease. 

How Headtracking on iOS Works 

Head tracking for your personal iOS device or Via® speech-generating device is controlled using Apple®’s TrueDepth camera to track your head movement and facial gestures. 

1. Turn on the head tracking feature in the settings menu of your app
2. Calibrate your head movement to your screen by following the prompts
3. The on-screen cursor moves in the same direction as your head
4. Selections are made by your choice of dwell, hover, blink, smile, and more
