Eye-Gaze Gaming device 

Product Description

Game  On  with  Pretorian  Technologies

  is  a  unique 

assistive gaming product, allowing users of eye-gaze 

enabled AAC devices and computers to achieve full 

control of computer games using only their eyes.
It may be used to play games either on a standard PC or 

on an Xbox via an Xbox Adaptive Controller. The user’s 

AAC device, such as a computer* or Grid Pad running 

Grid 3, displays a special gaming grid set with a similar 

layout to a standard game controller handset.
Simply  gaze  at  any  of  the  grid  cells  and  the 

corresponding game controller action is sent to the 

game console/ gaming computer to successfully play 

the  game.  Every  one  of  the  controls  on  a  standard 

game  controller  is  reproduced  in  the  grid  set, 

including  both  momentary  and  timed  thumbstick 

movements  and  single,  double  and  timed  presses 

of  all  buttons,  bumper  and  triggers.  A  Rapid-Fire 

option is also included for all buttons and triggers.
The grid set may be easily customised for particular users 

and/or particular games, a feature which is especially 

useful when the user has low cognition and would be 

unable  to  understand  a  full  game  controller  layout. 

Editing the grid set may also be beneficial when using 

Game On with Co-Pilot.
The display and keypad on 

Game On with Pretorian 

Technologies

  allows  the  user  to  adapt  the  degree 

of  thumbstick  movement  and  all  timer  periods 

and may optionally be saved as a Profile. Up to six 

Profiles  may  be  stored  and  recalled,  either  using 

the  keypad  or  directly  on  the  AAC  device  using 

eye-gaze.  Profiles  are  useful  both  for  customising 

the  gaming  experience  for  individual  games  or  for 

individual  users,  depending  on  their  preferences 

and particular needs.

Game  On  with  Pretorian  Technologies

  also  allows 

up to four players to be in the same room, a facility 

which  can  equally  enable  co-operative  gaming, 

where each player takes control of a subset of the 

controls,  or  to  allow  gaming  tournaments  where 

multiple gamers are playing individually in the same 

setting. Each player will need his or her own 

Game 

On

 device.

*PC  running  Grid  3  must  have  an  infra-red  output,  for 

example by connecting an Abilia Progress Star USB.
