Eye-gaze control technology enables people with significant physical disability to access computers for communication, play, learning and environmental control. This pilot study used a multiple case study design with repeated baseline assessment and parents' evaluations to compare two eye-gaze control technology systems to identify any differences in factors such as ease of use and impact of the systems for their young children. Five children, aged 3 to 5 years, with dyskinetic cerebral palsy, and their families participated. Overall, families were satisfied with both the Tobii PCEye Go and myGaze® eye tracker, found them easy to position and use, and children learned to operate them quickly. This technology provides young children with important opportunities for learning, play, leisure, and developing communication.
眼动控制技术使严重身体残疾的人能够使用电脑进行交流、娱乐、学习和环境控制。这项试点研究采用了多案例研究设计，通过重复基线评估和家长评价，比较两种眼动控制技术系统，以确定在易用性和系统对幼儿的影响等因素方面是否存在差异。五名年龄在3至5岁之间、患有运动障碍型脑瘫的儿童及其家庭参与了研究。总体而言，家庭对托比PCEye Go和myGaze®眼动追踪器都很满意，认为它们易于放置和使用，孩子们也能很快学会操作。这项技术为幼儿提供了学习、娱乐、休闲和发展交流的重要机会。
