Hardware Description
The HeadMouse Nano is an infrared optical sensor that tracks
side-to-side and up-and-down head movements. It then filters and
transforms these movements to control the mouse pointer position
on a computer, tablet or communication device screen.
HeadMouse Nano is a modest power device and is usually
supplied directly from the device USB port. HeadMouse Nano
uses infrared light to track a tiny reflective dot that is placed on the
user's forehead or glasses.
When used with mouse utility software, such as Origin
Instruments' Dragger, mouse clicks are performed by positioning
the mouse pointer and dwelling for a selectable period of time.
Alternately, mouse clicks can be performed with an adaptive
switch, such as the Origin Instruments Sip/Puff Switch or Orby
switches. One or two industry standard adaptive switches can be
connected directly to HeadMouse Nano through a 3.5 mm stereo
jack located next to the USB connector.
The HeadMouse Nano also contains an integrated infrared
receiver for use with wireless switches. The optional Beam™
wireless switch transmitter supports wireless connections for up to
three adaptive switches.
HeadMouse Nano is connected to the computer, tablet or
augmentative communication device with a standard A, to micro-B
USB cable.

Figure 1: HeadMouse Nano Front Panel. Optical tracking sensor in the
middle, infrared receiver for available Beam on the left and status LED on
the right.
The aluminum body of the HeadMouse Nano measures 2.1- by
1.5- by 0.35-inches, the optical transceiver extends another 0.15inches. For best results and reliable long-term operation, do not
touch the dark window. It is not necessary to clean the window as
part of a regular maintenance program.
A red and green LED is located on one side of the optical
transceiver. These LEDs indicate tracking status. The red LED
indicates that search is in progress. The green LED indicates the
HeadMouse has found and is tracking a target.
An infrared receiver for wireless switches is located on the other
side of the optical transceiver. Direct the optional Beam wireless
switch transmitter toward this receiver to communicate with the
HeadMouse Nano.

Figure 2: HeadMouse Nano Top View. USB Micro-B in the middle, and
3.5-mm jack for one or two adaptive switches.
Located on the top edge of the HeadMouse Nano are a Micro-B
USB connector and a 3.5mm (1/8-inch) stereo microphone
connector. Connect a mono adaptive switch into the microphone
connector to provide a LEFT mouse button click. A dual-mono-tostereo adapter is available if you need to directly connect mono
adaptive switches for both LEFT and RIGHT mouse button clicks.
The HeadMouse Nano draws its operating power directly from the
computer, tablet or AAC device through the USB connector.
