Get started with Windows Hello

Windows Hello allows for a more natural way to access your Windows 10 device. With a simple look, your device knows it’s you – and only you. All this is now fully supported by the world’s first and only external eye tracker validated by Microsoft for facial recognition.

The Windows Hello biometric functionality relies on images provided by Tobii sensors, to harmonize with Microsoft’s face recognition algorithms. These algorithms determine the identity of the user, allowing them to log in securely to their devices.

To be able to start using the Tobii Eye Tracker with Windows Hello, you will need to install the latest Tobii software.
