Safety instructions
Use the following safety guidelines for your personal safety.
WARNING: Epilepsy warning
Some people with Photosensitive Epilepsy are susceptible to epileptic
seizures or loss of consciousness when exposed to certain flashing lights or
light patterns in everyday life. This may happen even if the person has no
medical history of epilepsy or has never had any epileptic seizures.
A person with Photosensitive Epilepsy would also be likely to have problems
with TV screens, some arcade games, and flickering fluorescent bulbs. Such
people may have a seizure while watching certain images or patterns on a
monitor, or even when exposed to the light sources of an eye tracker. It is
estimated that about 3-5% of people with epilepsy have this type of
Photosensitive Epilepsy. Many people with Photosensitive Epilepsy
experience an "aura" or feel odd sensations before the seizure occurs. If you
feel odd during use, move your eyes away from the eye tracker.
WARNING: Infrared warning
When activated, the Tobii Eye Tracker emits pulsed infrared (IR) light.
Certain medical devices are susceptible to disturbance by IR light and/or
radiation. Do not use the Tobii Eye Tracker when in the vicinity of such
susceptible medical devices as their accuracy or proper functionality may be
affected.
WARNING: Child safety
The Tobii Eye Tracker is an advanced computer system and electronic device.
It is composed of numerous separate assembled parts. These parts may get
separated from the device, and may pose danger or choking hazard, when
handled by children.
CAUTION: Do not open the Tobii Eye Tracker
Non-compliance results in loss of Warranty! There are no user serviceable
components inside. Contact Tobii Support if your Tobii Eye Tracker is not
