- Grant it the permissions the app requests: camera access, accessibility options, and the ability to appear over other apps and interfaces.
- Click the Start button to calibrate your face and gaze.
- Finally, complete the tutorial where you will learn how to select objects (close your eyes), double-tap (close your eyes longer), move backwards (move your head to the side), etc.
When you're ready, press the START button again and you can start controlling your Android device with your eyes.
