I was multitasking and failing at the internet. I can't seem to find the way to delete the two copies now. =/ - Gavin Tue, 23 Jun 2009 05:24:28 +0100 http://www.ablegamers.com/hardware-news/smartnav-4-review.html#comment-670 Excellent, thanks for the review! I notice that a few people may not have seen dwell-clicking tools before. There are a few free ones available that I use all the time with head/eye trackers, and people who use their wheelchair controls to access computers. ClickAid is a small, simple tool that has left/middle/right click, double click, click and drag, shift/alt/ctrl click, etc. http://www.polital.com/ca/ Point-N-Click is the bigger, more complicated and customizable version of ClickAid. http://www.polital.com/pnc/ And if you want to try out a free program that turns a webcam into a (not entirely independent) head/body part tracker, check out CameraMouse, from Boston College. I don't think it's as robust as a SmartNav, but it's worth checking out for free. http://www.cameramouse.org/ - Gavin Mon, 22 Jun 2009 06:43:23 +0100 http://www.ablegamers.com/hardware-news/smartnav-4-review.html#comment-669 Excellent, thanks for the review!

Lots of people I know love them, and other units like them. We've helped people use them many times in the past, esp. in school settings. It was really important to us that the Basic Computer Skills: Mouse game we produced worked really well with head mice. Got an excellent endorsement from Randy Marsden of Madentec (make the Tracker) that felt great to the whole team. They recommend our games to train new Head Mice users (yes, I would say even adult user's would benefit, lots.) Little insight, some kids should use these in the classroom, along with on screen keyboard, etc., instead of voice dictation. For practice of these skills, we highly recommend playing video game at home. Hand's down the best way to practice. Great review! - Lee Doerksen Mon, 22 Jun 2009 05:47:48 +0100 http://www.ablegamers.com/hardware-news/smartnav-4-review.html#comment-659 Natural Point make some really nice gear - and have been long term supporters of game accessibility. Good on them. - Barrie Ellis Wed, 17 Jun 2009 06:30:21 +0100 http://www.ablegamers.com/hardware-news/smartnav-4-review.html#comment-658 Corey, Excellent review. You taught me a new control: a Dwell Click Toolbar. Thanks, John Bannick CTO 7-128 Software - John Bannick Wed, 17 Jun 2009 06:01:35 +0100
