EyePilot Introduction
EyePilot Alpha is officially released! This innovative software aims to provide users with a unique and intuitive interface that may not be fully self-explanatory. To help users get started, we have prepared this in-depth tutorial, which covers the various components of EyePilot and how to use them effectively.
EyePilot Features
Calibration
When using EyePilot, you will notice two circles during the calibration process: red and orange. The red circles represent the targets you need to focus on, while the orange circles indicate the starting points for cursor calibration. Once the cursor enters the orange area, its position, along with other facial landmarks, is recorded by the algorithm and aligned with the center of the red circle. This process may cause the cursor to slowly move towards the red center.
The first time you launch the app, calibration will begin automatically after pressing "Start." After calibration, the model is saved to the temporary files, allowing for a faster startup the next time you use the app. If needed, you can still manually calibrate, reset the calibration data in settings, or remove the temporary files.
Context Tracking
To enhance user experience, EyePilot incorporates context tracking. This feature takes a screenshot around the cursor whenever you focus on a specific element, detecting components such as icons, text, and fields. This makes it easier for you to aim at and interact with the desired elements.
Pressing Buttons/Clicking
EyePilot currently supports single button presses. To activate this feature, focus on the object you wish to press. When the blue cursor hovers over it, simply blink your eyes to trigger the press. It's important to note that blinking only activates the mouse movement and button press when you are focusing on an object.
Indicators
After focusing on an area, you will see a blue cursor, indicating where EyePilot detects you want to press. If you blink at that moment, the cursor will move and press the object. Your standard eye-controlled cursor is gray, but you can customize it according to your preferences.
EyePilot Settings
In the settings menu, you can adjust various parameters to optimize your experience. For example, you can change the fixation threshold, which determines how long you need to stare at an object before context tracking activates. By default, it is set to 2, but you can adjust it between 1 and 10.
Additionally, you can control how much eye movement affects your cursor and the influence of the machine learning algorithm using the Classic Impact slider. More Classic Impact means a greater effect from the V1 algorithm, which uses a model approach to track your eye movements. Less Classic Impact means more influence from the V2 algorithm.
