The ViVo Mouse
Head Tracking Made Easy
Vortant Technologies' ViVo Mouse is a state of the art head tracker that lets you use your head movements or voice to control your computer. Based on years of research, including funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), along with frequent involvement of real users and feedback from instructors, the ViVo Mouse makes it easy to accomplish previously difficult tasks.
Opening the world
The ViVo Mouse lets you surf the Internet and work with many otherwise complex sites. Read the news, make travel reservations or research your next career. It helps you manage your computer, write documents and gives you full access to your email. And when you need a break, it makes playing games more fun.
Speaking of fun
Your ViVo Mouse is a voice tracker as well as a head tracker. You can move the mouse by telling it which way to go -- and even how fast to move. The easy to use Voice Clicking allows you to use speech to control the full range of mouse behavior, including single click, double click, right click -- even drag and drop.
To type, you can move the cursor with your voice just as if your hands were on the keyboard and handily perform editing operations such as cut, copy, paste and delete.
Flexible
When working on a document or composing email, you can use head movements or voice input. If you prefer, you can also type using other accessibility tools, such as the Microsoft On-Screen Keyboard (although typing with speech is often much faster!).
And anytime you want, you can use a ViVo Mouse generated mouse click or a simple voice command to quickly enable and disable the head tracker to suit your work flow.
How it works
This advanced software head tracker works with a simple, off the shelf webcam to automatically find your face. There are no headsets to put on or complicated equipment to adjust. The ViVo Mouse runs on Windows XP and Vista.
Simple to configure
The first time calibration takes all of 10 seconds. For later fine tuning, the convenient, unobtrusive interface for controlling head tracking behavior is easily accessed with the head tracker itself. You have precise control over everything from calibration, mouse speed, dwell time and how the pointer behaves at the edges of the screen to the speed, frame rate and all the other subtle settings for your web cam.
