What is i-Mouse?• ‘i-Mouse’ is the equivalent of the

conventional computer mouse but it is entirely controlled by Eyes.

• The i-Mouse offers people with extreme disabilities the opportunity to control a computer simply by moving his or her eyes or head.

Benefits of i-Mouse• Low System Requirements• Low cost• High compatibility• User friendly• Application useful for handicapped people• Easier computer control

Literature Survey• Related concepts:

– HCI (Human Computer Interface)– Gesture Recognition

• Literature Study:– Face Detection - Color Based– Face Tracking, Extraction and Motion

Detection - Head Motion - Command Detection - Eyeball Motion Based

Existing System

The Headmaster User The EagleEyes User

Facial Mouse Depiction

Proposed System• Hand Free Cursor Control System

- Locating Human face and eyes - Facial movement and eye recognition - Calculating Line of sight for eyes - Movement of mouse pointer using interfacing of human biometrics and computer system

Architectural DesignTwo layers constitute the basic structure of i-Mouse viz. Tracking Layer and Client layer. • Tracking Layer

– Input: Sequence of Real Images.– Purpose: To provide a face tracker robust

enough to be usable in visible noisy environments.

• Client Layer– Purpose: To provide the necessary level

of abstraction over Tracking layer.– This subsystem makes available the GUI.

Conclusion• The motivation behind developing i-Mouse

is that it facilitates the hands free cursor control which reduces the dependency on the typical mouse.

• The project aims at providing a means of cursor control to disabled people and a new and interactive option to the existing users.
