(Re)calibrate eye control

If eye control does not work as expected, you can recalibrate the eye control. If you are using a different eye control or if you wish to enter different calibration settings, see Selecting and calibrating the type of eye control.
  1. Choose Tools > Eye tracking > Calibrate.
    Calibration is started. The user looks at the first calibration dot and continues with the calibration procedure until completed.
  2. If you are working with:
    • Tobii, Eyetech or MyGaze: go to the next step.
    • a different type of eye control: go to the last page.
  3. After the calibration, one of the following results appears:
    Background Explanation
    Green The calibration was successful.
    Amber At least one calibration dot can be improved.
    Red At least one calibration dot is not calibrated correctly. The bad dots must be re-calibrated or the calibration must be performed again completely.
  4. Choose one of the following options:
    Option Explanation
    Recalibrate or F3 Choose this option if there are too many poorly calibrated dots. This option restarts the calibration process and all dots must be re-calibrated.

    Go back to step 3.
    Improve or F4 Choose this option if there are only a few dots that need to be re-calibrated. Choose a dot that you want to recalibrate. The re-calibration of the selected dot can affect the calibration of the other dots. In Tobii and Eyetech, the best calibration result is always saved. In MyGaze, the last calibration result is saved.

    Go back to step 3.
    Accept or F5 Choose this option if the calibration is good (preferably green background) or if the calibration is acceptable and any improvement is difficult. Eye control can be used immediately.

    Go to the next step.
  5. Use eye control.
