Hi Cass,
I am always amazed at how different eye trackers work better for some people than others.  So in agreement with Amy and Alisa, I would suggest she try at least 2 or 3 eye trackers.  You did mention Mac though which would trigger me to include an LC device in that initial set of trials.  The LC Link enables control of a Mac.

I think it's impossible to say without evaluating her directly. Different eye gaze cameras work better or worse with different people. Where software is concerned, personally I'm partial to Grid 3 at the moment.

This is a link to a page on the SmartBox website with a list of the cameras they recommend most frequently. I chatted with them for a while yesterday; they are even getting some good responses from the Irisbond Duo with outdoor use. It might help to speak with them or another expert vendor without an investment in one specific device.

What eyegaze system (combination of systems) would you recommend if money was not an issue (this would not have to be DME approved device or system).  I am working with a pALS who says she wants the top of the line equipment and is not concerned about cost.  She presently uses a Mac. 

 

Thank you for your suggestions!
