Irisbond Duo Eyetracker

The system is made up of one eyetracking device connected to computer via a cable
(included with the device) through a USB port (either USB 2.0 or USB 3.0). The
eyetracker emits infrared light beams which create reflections on the user’s corneas. A

camera then registers these reflections and through a series of complex computational
algorithms is able to identify the user’s pupils. The information is then processed by the
computer via the Irisbond Primma software (once installed on the computer). This
allows the user’s eye movements to be translated into onscreen positioning coordinates

for the mouse.

System Components



1 Irisbond eyetracker.



1 USB extension cable.



4 mounting attachments.
