Open your Cephable Panel to get started

Click "Camera" in the panel to start your camera controls

The following series of images in this Scribe include a screenshot of a PC desktop with the Cephable Panel (small window on the right side of the screen with toggles for microphone & camera controls, a summary of app controls for the relevant app, and a menu of global & device controls). The Cephable main window is in the center of the screen where more in depth settings and configurations can be set for all app functions.

Click "Settings" from the panel to open up your camera settings in the main window. Or you can start in the main window and click "Camera Settings"

You can drag the slider for each specific gesture or expression (e.g. head tilt up, head turn left, etc.) to change the sensitivity.

The higher the sensitivity, the less you have to move for that gesture. Cephable can detect very slight movements for each gesture or expression on the highest sensitivity. The lower the sensitivity, you have to create larger gestures to trigger a command. You can edit the sensitivity for any specific movement to fit your abilities and preferences.

Other head and face gestures include head leaning.

Eyebrow raising.

And mouth movements like open mouth, close mouth, and smiling.

You can also edit your head-mouse settings here too. Use your head to move your mouse position. (Check out the other guide and video on Head Mouse Controls)

Click "Save" in the upper right corner of the main window once you're done editing all your sensitivity settings.

Now in your camera controls you can feel how far you have to move while changing and saving the settings to find what feels right for you.

As an example, we have a high sensitivity "turn left" and a low sensitivity "turn right"For turning right, with low sensitivity, you would need to turn your head far as pictured here.

For turning left, with a high sensitivity, we only have to turn very slightly as shown here.

Find the sensitivity levels that feel right for you! You can always change them if your position changes or your setup is different.
