5.4.3.3 Selection Methods
There are two methods to execute the chosen Task. The method of choice is set from within the Gaze Selection Settings Dialog.
Before executing a selection you select a Task from the Taskbar to execute. Gaze at your chosen task until it is highlighted as
"Selected" or "High Precision".
• GGaazzee - To execute the chosen Task, rest your gaze at the desired portion of the screen (or icon on the screen) where
you want to execute the Task. An automatic zoom function is enabled, ending in the selection of the icon or execution of
the task.
• SSwwiittcchh - Two different execution modes.
– SSiinnggllee aaccttiivvaattiioonn ooff tthhee SSwwiittcchh - the zoom function will execute in the same way as with the Gaze method and ac-
cording to the settings made in the Gaze Selection Settings Dialog.
– AAccttiivvaattee aanndd hhoolldd tthhee SSwwiittcchh - the zoom function will zoom continuously and end only upon the release / deactiva-
tion of the switch.
When using the Gaze method, you have to look back to the Taskbar to select a new Task after the execution of the
Task, even if it is the same as you have just used.
5.4.3.3.1 Sticky Tasks for Switch
When using the Switch method, the Task buttons will become "sticky" once you select them. This means that you do not have to
look back at the Taskbar if you want to repeat the execution of a selected Task, only if you want to change the Task.
This allows for excellent use cases such as quick/continual surfing of the internet by selecting the Left Click Task once and then
repeatedly selecting anything desired, without having to choose the Left Click Task again.
5.4.3.3.2 Activating a Task with a Keyboard button instead of a Switch
Selecting the “Right Click Keyboard Button”,
, on an attached keyboard will activate a Task selection. It can be used in
exactly the same way as a connected switch. For more information on Switches, see
5.4.3.3 Selection Methods, page 24 .
5.4.3.4 Gaze Keyboard
By selecting the Gaze Keyboard button on the Taskbar, the Gaze Keyboard will launch as an on-screen keyboard. The Gaze
Keyboard will be positioned either at the top or at the bottom of the screen depending on where the user has placed the last
mouse click (or last cursor position) before launching the Gaze Keyboard. The keyboard will place itself on the opposite side from
where the mouse/cursor is.
The Gaze Keyboard consists of four keyboard pages in a rotating loop. The user can easily switch between the different key-
board pages by selecting the next page buttons located to the far left and right on all pages of the Gaze Keyboard.
The key on the keyboard where the user is looking will be indicated by a light frame around the character/function on the key.
While the user is typing, the last 5-10 characters will be displayed in blue on the indicated/highlighted key. This feature assists
the user in easily spotting misspellings and reduces the need for looking at the actual spot where the text is inserted, thus in-
creasing typing speed.
