 |
|
| Quote: | MotionMouse moves your mouse pointer according to movements of your head and upper body. Clicking the mouse can be done via hot keys or by using special head gestures like nodding or head shaking.
Work more efficent with your hands always on the keyboard.
Work hands-off without using a mouse.
Diversify your movements to avoid health problems.
Enjoy the experience!
MotionMouse is not finished yet, but it is already working pretty ok in many respects. It was a lot of work to make it work. After many years of studying computer science, pattern recognition and service-robotics, including doing a Ph.D., I find myself without work in this field. MotionMouse is my idea of applying my knowlege usefully. I hope you found MotionMouse useful enough to encourage further devolopement with some monetary support.
Requirements for MotionMouse are
A reasonably fast computer, which is running the Windows operation system (Windows 98 will have some limitations; newer versions of Windows should do fine).
A camera which can send live video streams to your computer with at least 15 frames per second when connected via Video for Windows.
Readyness to enjoy the learning experience of using a new kind of input device is recommended :*)

Dude, that's a cool concept (although I haven't tested it). You're probably a little ahead of the curve. Don't lose interest (but keep your day job); the world will eventually catch up with you.

I know of someone who uses something like this in place of a mouse, since he hasn't got the use of his hands. Very cool technology.  |

| In my system it is far from being usable. The mouse cursor is very jittery and only moves an inch, but occasionally jumps to a side of the screen. It has to improve a lot. Does anyone know an alternative? |
