Simple Setup
Simply insert the iPad Pro into the protective case and plug in the eye tracker, download the Skyle App and your iPad Pro is ready to be controlled with eye gaze access.
Power Supply
Powered directly from the iPad Pro, the Skyle eye gaze camera requires no additional power supply or battery. You can even charge the iPad Pro at the same time.
