Innovation & Expertise
Accuracy & precision
The PCEye Mini, together with the zoom functionality of Windows Control, allows you to hit even the smallest targets on the screen with almost pixel precision.
Easy Calibration
Our easy, one-time calibration is helpful for those who have difficulties keeping focus on a calibration target. It’s an excellent way for beginners to get started with eye tracking.
Large trackbox
The trackbox is the imaginary volume within which you can move your head without losing accuracy or interrupting the eye tracking session. PCEye Mini’s large trackbox size gives you the freedom to sit or lie down comfortably while maintaining eye tracking performance.
Superior trackability
The PCEye Mini provides higher quality tracking results compared to other eye trackers, regardless of most lighting conditions, eye color, or eyewear (glasses or contact lenses).
Windows Hello
In combination with Windows Control you can:
- Turn your PCEye Mini into a Windows Hello camera to automatically sign in to Windows 10
- Unlock the screen with your eyes and Windows Hello (if your Windows 10 computer is not set to fully go to sleep)
Portability and Flexibility
The PCEye Mini attaches perfectly to most laptop and desktop monitors, with an excellent performance on screens up to 19’’ in size. Processing takes place within the PCEye Mini eye tracker itself, enabling you to use both old and low performance PCs.

2 Trackbox describes the space in front of the eye tracker where the user must have at least one eye to get gaze data. The eye tracker is at a 20° angle looking upward from below the screen.
3 For larger than recommended screens, the limiting parameter is the quality of the gaze accuracy at the upper corners of the screen when the user sits close to the screen.
4 The degree-of-accuracy and precision over percentage-of-population numbers result from extensive testing across representatives of the whole population. We have made use of hundreds of thousands of diagnostic images and performed tests on approximately 800 individuals with different conditions, vision, ethnicities, everyday dust, smudges or blemishes around their eyes, with eyes out of focus, etc. This has resulted in a much more robust and high performance eye tracking experience and a much more realistic representation of true performance across the whole population, not just in a mathematically "ideal" scenario.
5 The "ideal" degree numbers are the previous standard of measuring accuracy and precision, both previously from Tobii and presently from all eye tracking competitors. Though "ideal" numbers are useful to get a general feel about comparative quality and performance, they are not applicable to real world usage in the same way as quantitative degree-of-accuracy and precision over percentage-of-population numbers based on extensive testing across representatives of the whole population.
6 All software titles are not compatible with each other, see the respective software product page for more information.
WARNING: The PCEye Mini should NEVER be mounted to glass. For this reason, it is not recommended for use with a 2 in 1 laptop/tablet.
