Abstract

Different groups of people with disabilities, especially those with motor disabilities, have problems in handling the conventional computer mouse and in consequence, as the mouse is a standard component of almost any Human-Computer Interface (HCI), with different systems and applications leading to problems in their educational, vocational and daily life. This paper presents research on a prototype of a laser based, head controlled input device emulation. Thus the HeadControl+ system is intended to implement an alternative mouse as well as an alternative keyboard, making use only of off-the-shelve hardware leading to an inexpensive system for different application scenarios.
