Design of "Hands-Free" Human-Computer Interface

Abstract

Nowadays, electronic devices are everywhere, people normally control electronic devices using hands. However, the traditional interfaces limit the physically disabled people to access. Therefore, we need to develop a new kind of interface which is not only for the normal person, but also for the disabled people. This work presents a video-based \hands-free" human-computer interface designed to offer a friendly user experience and accessibility for everyone, including disabilities. The interface automatically captures the movement of users' eyes with camera and helps them to accomplish some simple tasks with computer by eyes and head rotation. At last, we show the rst prototype of the interface which is implemented by Kinect for Windows.
