TrackerPro
What is TrackerPro?
TrackerPro is a computer input device that takes the place of a mouse for people with little or no hand movement. Simply plug it in and it works just like a mouse (no additional software required). Anything that can be done with a regular hand mouse can be done by using TrackPro (in conjunction with one of many clicking solutions).How does it work?
Plug Tracker Pro into the mouse/USB port (instead of a mouse) and mount it on top of a computer screen, laptop, or augmentative communication device. Tracker Pro then tracks a tiny reflective dot worn on your forehead or glasses. When you move your head, Tracker Pro elegantly converts that into computer mouse movement, and you move your mouse cursor. Clicking can be accomplished by using ability switches, or dwell click software such as MagicCursor2000. Dwell technology, built into many AAC devices also works to let you click.
It is a high-resolution intelligent camera in a solid aluminum enclosure, making it smooth, reliable, stand-alone, robust, accurate and easy to mount. Tracker is not a tow meant for the gaming market and then sold to people with disabilities as a secondary thought; it is dedicated assistive technology designed exclusively for people with limited use of their hands.
Disabilities Addressed
Tracker Pro is ideally suited to persons with, but not limited to: quadriplegia, Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neurone Disease (ALS), Muscular Dystrophy, Cerebral Palsy, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and any other disability where the user has little or no control of their hands to use a standard mouse.
A Tracker in the Palm of Your Hand

Mounting Tracker Pro has never been easier. With the small size of Tracker Pro you will be able to mount it to your desktop, laptop or Augmentative Communication device quickly and efficiently.
