Windows Eye Control

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

Windows Eye Control lets someone operate a Windows 11 PC with their eyes, using a compatible eye tracker. You look at on-screen controls and the built-in tools to move the pointer, click, and type on an on-screen keyboard. It's a feature of Windows, not a device, so you'll need a supported eye tracker. The supported list includes several Tobii Dynavox models and some laptops and monitors with eye tracking built in. The on-screen keyboard works only with the EN-US layout, and some settings are available only in English. Microsoft notes that a friend, family member, or caregiver may need to help with setup and settings changes.

Where to get it

This is the vendor WhatCanHelp tracks for this product — it may also be available from other retailers or a local supplier, and prices vary.

What setup looks like

• Out of the box
  Once an eye tracker is attached and calibrated, Eye Control is available in Windows settings with no separate purchase.
• With a guide
  
  1. Plan where the eye tracker will sit so it has a clear view of the user's eyes, then attach it to the screen with the mount that comes with it.
  2. Connect the tracker by USB and follow the on-screen calibration steps so Windows learns where the user is looking.
  3. Turn on Eye Control and practice with the launchpad and eye keyboard. Allow about an hour, plus help from a helper if the user can't do setup alone.
• With professional help
  An occupational therapist, speech-language pathologist, or ATP can help pick the right tracker. They can check positioning and dwell settings, and decide if eye control is a reliable way to access the PC for this person. Plan for an assessment visit plus follow-up tuning. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
