How to mount Oskol

Oskol has a space dedicated for the iPad and another for Hiru. To mount the iPad in the Oskol follow these steps:

2. Separate the top and bottom pieces of the casing. Push up on each side joint to separate them.
3. Place the iPad in the bottom piece of the casing. The bottom corners of the iPad should sit tightly in the casing.
4. Place the hub and spring in the compartment. The hub’s ports should facing the outside edge of the casing, so they are accessible through the space in the casing. Place the spring in the compartment, to the left side of the hub, to provide a tighter fit.
5. Place the top piece over the the iPad. Slide the top piece down until it is in place. The side joints and middle piece should fit together.
6. Place the screw back in the top connection point. Use the allen wrench to tighten the screw.

iOS

Getting started in iOS

Initial Set up:

1. Plug in Hiru. Wait until the Hiru starts and the Assistive Touch cursor appears on the screen.

When Hiru is on, you will see 4 red LED lights on each of the edges.

Hiru App

1. Download and Open the HIRU APP. The first time the Hiru is plugged into the iPad, a message will appear prompting the download of the HIRU APP.
2. Activate the Hiru license within HIRU APP. To do this, open the app, and click Activate License.

Hiru App
Choose “Calibrate” and Position yourself using the positioning guide. Red means that you are too close or too far from the Hiru. Green means that the distance is correct.
Position your eyes in the middle of the box. Hiru App

Calibrate: Choose how many points you want to calibrate with (1, 5, 9, 16).

•  A target will move across the screen. Look at the point in all the positions where it stops. During the calibration process, Hiru learns from the user’s eyes to estimate the gaze points on the screen.
• Settings: from the home screen, select Settings to configure eye gaze within the app.

Hiru App

• Select the dwell time: This determines how much time to fixate on a button in order to click. The lower the time, the quicker the click. On the left, choose from SLOW, MEDIUM or FAST defaults, or adjust the time on the right hand side.
• Adjust Smoothing: This determines how sensitive the cursor is to small movements. On the left choose from LOW, MEDIUM or HIGH defaults, or adjust the level on the right hand side. The smoothing chosen here will apply in and outside the Hiru app.
•  The smoothing level is a number between 1 and 14. 14 is the highest level of smoothing, resulting in a mouse of low sensitivity. 1 is the lowest level, with a high level of sensitivity.
• Select Visible Pointer (YES or NO): Choose Yes for a visible pointer and No to hide it within the app.

Hiru App

• When finished, exit the App using the “Close” icon in the top right corner.
• Navigate outside the Hiru App using the cursor to click on different icons.
• The cursor default is to perform a single tap. To choose an alternative command, go to the AssistiveTouch Menu and select an option. See more below in “Hiru and iOS Accessibility Tools”.

Pause / Resume Dwell
This icon allows you to stop clicking. When selected, the pointer is visible, but the dwell will not complete. Select “Resume Dwell” from the same icon on the AT menu to resume clicking. You can also set your fallback action to “Pause Dwell”, so between each AssistiveTouch action, the dwell will be paused.
