Control of Computer Peripherals using Human Eyes

TL;DR

This paper presents an eye-gaze control device that enables users, especially those with neurolocomotor impairments, to operate computers using eye movements detected via a webcam, enhancing accessibility.

Contribution

It introduces a novel eye-gaze cursor control system that robustly detects eye movements and gestures using a standard webcam for accessible computer interaction.

Findings

Successfully distinguishes pupils from face in real-time

Enables control of computer interface through eye gestures

Designed for ease of use with common webcams

Abstract

The essential activities such as communication via email, surfing the world wide web, watching ones preferred Film or television series a large majority of people impaired by neurolocomotor disorders including those paralyzed by accident do not access machines. It was inferred from a previous research review those eyeballs are really an exceptional contender for pervasive computers because eyeballs switch involuntary through accordance via computer equipment. It may be important to use this underlying information from eye motions to carry the use of machines back to those patients. We suggest an Eye-Gaze Cursor control device for this function that is fully controlled only with the use of eyeballs. Goal of this project is to develop a easy to use eye-gesture control device which will detect eye movements robustly and allow the person to use a computer webcam in accordance to the behavior mirroring to specific eye movements/gestures. It distinguishes the pupil from the face of the user and then controls its gestures. In real-time, it has to be specific enough that the user can use it with ease like most daily gadgets.
