NuPoint is an effective access solution for users who have limited or no use of their hands. Using optical sensors, NuPoint tracks a small reflective dot on the user’s forehead, glasses, or other convenient spot converting the natural movement of the user’s head to accurately control the pointer on the screen.
Key activations are made by dwelling over the desired key. Additional movement settings, like vertical and horizontal controls help customize control of the pointer to optimize the user’s accuracy and ease of use.
NuPoint is designed specifically to work with Accent 800, 1000, and 1400 devices and plugs directly into the device, requiring no additional power or cables.
