Totally Free Head Motion - This new technology solves 
eyetracking's tolerance-to-head-motion challenge once and 
for all. The Eyegaze System's Eyefollower™ accommodates all 
natural head motions during normal computer operation. The 
user can sit back, sit up, slouch down, move side to side, 
reach over to the mouse, operate the keyboard, and move 
close to the screen to examine a display at close range. 
 
Automatic Eye Acquisition - The Eyefollower™ automatically 
acquires the eyes when the user enters the workspace, and 
it rapidly re-acquires the eyes when he returns his 
attention to the screen after turning his head away. 
 
Binocular Eyetracking - The Eyefollower™ tracks both eyes 
over the full range of head motion. The gazepoint sampling 
rate is 120 Hz. 
 
High Gazepoint Tracking Accuracy - The Eyegaze System 
achieves its highly accurate 0.45 degree gazepoint tracking 
accuracy throughout the operational head range. 
 
Easy User Calibration - The user calibration employs the 
same, easy procedure used with the fixed-camera Eyegaze 
System.
