HeadMouse Nano User Guide

Hardware Description

The HeadMouse Nano is an infrared optical sensor that tracks
side-to-side and up-and-down head movements. It then filters and
transforms these movements to control the mouse pointer position
on a computer, tablet or communication device screen.
HeadMouse Nano is a modest power device and is usually
supplied directly from the device USB port. HeadMouse Nano
uses infrared light to track a tiny reflective dot that is placed on the
user's forehead or glasses.
When used with mouse utility software, such as Origin
Instruments' Dragger, mouse clicks are performed by positioning
the mouse pointer and dwelling for a selectable period of time.
Alternately, mouse clicks can be performed with an adaptive
switch, such as the Origin Instruments Sip/Puff Switch or Orby
switches. One or two industry standard adaptive switches can be
connected directly to HeadMouse Nano through a 3.5 mm stereo
jack located next to the USB connector.
The HeadMouse Nano also contains an integrated infrared
receiver for use with wireless switches. The optional Beam™
wireless switch transmitter supports wireless connections for up to
three adaptive switches.
HeadMouse Nano is connected to the computer, tablet or
augmentative communication device with a standard A, to micro-B
USB cable.
