Software Setup

Prerequisites

1. Installation CD, memory stick or latest download from website.

2. An IntelliGaze camera unit with appropriate license.

3. A PC with a preferably fresh Windows installation which meets the

hardware requirements.

- Have latest Windows patches installed.

- An Internet connection is not required for most installers.

- IntelliGaze provides a common installer for both 32bit and 64bit systems.

- To prevent a re-boot, the camera should be disconnected during setup.

- Updates can be installed over a previous version.

Software Installation

1. Launch setup.exe and follow the instructions until the process

finishes successfully.

2. On a first-time installation, please run the Monitor Calibration

program:

In order to ensure the highest gaze

accuracy over a large working

range, the physical setup of the

system needs to be calibrated

once, when the system is being

integrated.

Most cameras will be attached to

the monitor using a 'VESA mount'.

The interactive sketch will assist

you in locating the requested

measurements.

For later updates, the Monitor Calibration program can be found in

the IntelliGaze program group.

In a dual-monitor setup, please make sure the camera is attached to the primary

display!

3. Plug in the camera and wait until a Windows message confirms the

installation of 'alea technologies drivers'.

The device manager now lists the camera driver in the USB section,

additionally the Internal Camera Status LED (

) turns yellow.

4. Start IntelliGaze, and position yourself centered about 60cm (2ft.)

from the camera.

Open the Operation Center and verify the proper functioning by

checking the Tracking Status Monitor: stable green 'smiley' and no

error messages. The 'smiley' should follow your head movements

without significant delay or stutter.

The Tracking Status Monitor reacts on touch and will provide more details or

options in case of problems.

5. The basic IntelliGaze system has now been installed.

Setting System Preferences for Desktop Control

Start IntelliGaze and open the preferences dialog (i.e. Ctrl-F11 or via OC).

● General - Select your language and ensure that the camera license

matches your requirements.

● Integrated Keyboard - Select your preferred keyboard layout(s).

● Input - adapt the preferred input option(s), i.e. dwell or blink click

or/and switches. This will be the 'triggers' which can be used in

application profiles.

If Windows should provide gaze input directly after boot-up, you will have to add

IntelliGaze to the Startup folder.

Configuring the Service Mode (optional)

Close IntelliGaze and start the IntelliGaze Service program to adjust the

parameters if needed:

● Win7: Enable and set up touch screen input. (Automatic in Win8

and Win10).

● Optional: Disable automatic search for software updates.

Safety & Compliance

The IntelliGaze™ IG30NT systems has been certified for general office use as in the class of

information and telecommunication devices. The system will meet or exceed the required

standard according to CE and FCC regulations.

Safety of the Infrared Illumination

The camera system contains LED sources that emit light in the near infrared (NIR) spectrum. The

light emission levels have been measured and calculated to comply with the European laser

safety standard EN60825-1. The standards contain test procedures to verify that the emitted

light will cause no thermal injury to the eye of a person being exposed to the light. The product

is classified as a Class 1 LED product and complies with the standards for long-time exposure.

Exposure varies with the chosen frame-rate and working distance. For comparison reason: the

user will be exposed to about 200mW/cm² at 40Hz tracking rate in the suggested operating

distance of 60cm / 2ft..

Magnetic Field Hazard

The CAM30NT unit contains small magnets. Magnetic fields may interfere with the function of

cardiac pacemakers and implantable defibrillators. As a general rule, please maintain a minimum

distance of 10cm /4 in. between the frontal part of the device and any implanted, electronic

device.

Epilepsia / Photosensitive Seizure Warning

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual

images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who

have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these

photosensitive epileptic seizures while using a gaze interaction device on a computer screen.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye

or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary

loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to

injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop while using a gaze

interaction device on a computer screen and consult a doctor if you experience any of these

symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms - children

and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.The risk of photosensitive

epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions:

● Using a gaze interaction device on a computer screen only in a well-lit room.

● Do not use a gaze interaction device on a computer screen if you are drowsy or fatigued.

● If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before

playing.

Mounting Warning

The camera should be mounted according to manufacturer or authorized system integrator

instructions. alea technologies is not liable for damage or injuries due to a dropped or tipping

over device . The mounting of an alea technologies product is done entirely at the user's own

risk.

Emergency Situations

Be aware that due to the possible risk of failure, the IntelliGaze system should not be relied

upon exclusively as an audio communications or an environmental control device. In emergen-

cies, as well as in dangerous, or other wise sensitive situations , do not solely rely on the device

for communication.

Do Not Open the Camera Device

There are no user serviceable parts inside. Non-compliance will result in loss of Warranty!
