Discontinued. Replaced by TrackerPro.

Tracker One is a truly revolutionary head pointing device. Tracker One makes computer access even easier. It operates from the USB port of your computer or compatible AAC device and gives you the freedom to be completely mobile without need of battery packs or power adapters. Tracker One incorporates all the dependability and function you trust from Tracker 2000 but has simplified your connection options.

Disabilities Addressed

Tracker was developed to give mouse control to people with Quadriplegia, Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, ALS, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and any other disability where the user has little or no control of their hands to use a standard mouse.

Features and Benefits

• Hi-Res CCD Camera
  Ultra smooth, pixel perfect tracking. You can use Tracker for drawing, drafting, or any other application requiring fine cursor control.
• 45 Degree Field of View
  You can sit anywhere that is comfortable in front of the computer, and Tracker will automatically find you.
• Horizontal or Vertical Mounting
  You can use the same Tracker on any type of computer: desktop or laptop. The swivel camera ball makes it even easier for pointing the camera.
• USB
  Standard across all platforms, USB simplifies you connection.
• Plug and Play
  No software is required. Just plug Tracker into the USB port of your computer and you’re done.
• Sunlight Compatibility
  No more annoying jumpiness due to interference from sunlight – in fact, you can even use Tracker One in direct sunlight.
• Intellipoint Compatible
  You can scroll easily by simply moving your head up and down – much easier than constantly having to click on the scroll buttons.
• Joystick Mode
  Even if you don’t have perfect head control (such as people with CP), you can move the cursor accurately using Tracker’s joystick mode. Tracker is the only headpointer available with this mode.
• Front LED Indicators
  Small lights on the front make it easy to know when Tracker sees a dot. It even indicates which direction you are moving when in joystick mode.

What about using a Tracker One with Electronic Communication Devices?

The Tracker One is a USB-only device. It is compatible with computers with a USB port and many speech generating devices, including the following:

• Dynavox MT4
  
• Dynavox DV4
  
• miniMO
  
• MIGHTYmo
  
• Optimist 3
  
• Tech/Touch
  
• Tablet XL Impact


• Freedom 2000 series
  
• Mercury
  
• MiniMerc

In general, if a communication device’s system is computer-based and supports a mouse, there is a good chance that Tracker will work with it. Tracker is a mouse and uses standard Microsoft mouse drivers, so the computer (or electronic communication device) shouldn’t be able to detect whether a Tracker is plugged in to its mouse port or whether a standard Microsoft mouse is plugged in.
