_{Published July 28, 2022}

Take a few moments to update your Accent device with the newest 1.16 version of Empower to experience its latest features! This easy-to-use software is made even better with these helpful updates.

Exciting New Empower 1.16 Features:

It’s even easier to calibrate NuPoint head tracking with a new centered cursor calibration setting. The new centered setting is perfect for users who maintain a stable alignment of the device in relation to their head position but may find it difficult to manually realign the cursor.
You can now add a button action that allows you to activate the centered calibration process directly from your vocabulary for easy access without navigating to the toolbox.
New Catch Me Activity added to Engage. Catch Me uses motion to capture user’s attention and sound and animation to offer a fun reward for their efforts. A wide range of image options and the ability to adjust the size and color of the object as well as the background color enable this activity to accommodate a variety of vision needs. With settings to customize activity duration, dwell time, and speed, Catch Me can be made easier for beginners or more challenging as skills improve.
