Getting Started with Oskol 2: Top Tips for Eye Gaze Success

At Control Bionics, we are dedicated to providing AAC technology that adapts to your unique needs. Through our partnership with IRISBOND, we are proud to distribute the Oskol 2, a sophisticated speech-generating device designed exclusively for the 13″ iPad Air.

The Oskol 2 is powered by Hiru, the world’s first multiplatform eye-tracker, offering a sleek, distraction-free design with no exposed cables. Whether you are a seasoned pro or new to eye tracking, setting up a new device can sometimes lead to questions.

To help you get the most out of your experience, we would like to share a new video from our partners at IRISBOND that answers the top five questions users have about the Oskol 2.

Key Takeaways for Oskol 2 Users

  • Perfect Your Calibration: For the best precision, use more calibration targets, such as the 9-point option. You can also customize the target’s color, size, and speed to fit your visual needs.
  • Optimize Your Click: Use “dwell control” to select items. If you find yourself clicking unintentionally, try increasing your dwell time by a fraction of a second to ensure clicks are deliberate.
  • Improve Accuracy with Positioning: Ensure you are seated comfortably and the device is positioned so your eyes are centered in the on-screen positioning box.
  • Use Smart Features: Enable “Snap to Item” to help the cursor magnetize to buttons. You can also use “Smoothing” to dampen shakiness and create a more stable cursor.
  • Take a Break: If you are reading long text or watching a video, use the “Pause” feature to put the eye tracking into sleep mode.
