He doesn’t have great  control with dwell and currently has too much anxiety to ease into it. I hope to have him practice once he gets the system because he may need dwell soon. There used to be a two selection zoom maybe in Series 5. The first selection zoomed in on the general area. Once zoomed it was easy to target your selection with your mouse and make your final selection. I was hoping to find something like this but I’m coming up with nothing. I’m trying Mouseless Browsing as an alternative with him. He’s not yet loving it. Lol. At this point I’m just trying to find a solution that won’t make him spontaneously combust. 



Amy,

I was playing around with Grid 3, and what you want is not an option.  But, I wonder if you made the dwell for zoom long enough that they can look away if it is not what they want to do?

Using zoom and click is a bit strange because you would need to be aware of when the zoom was over to know when you can click?  Do you have any insight as to why they want this combination of features?

Hi,

I am evaluating a patient who will be using eye tracking but much prefers a switch to dwell.  When he goes out on the internet he does not want to switch to dwell but he does want to be able to use a zoom feature to get to smaller items.  I can find systems that zoom but they all use dwell selection.  Anyone know of a software on any SGD with can utilize zoom for computer controls with a switch?
