PupilMouse supported by head pose detection

Abstract

We have already proposed dasiaPupilMousepsila, which would be very useful for the severely handicapped people, who can move their heads, to operate a PC and so on. In PupilMouse, pupil motion between frames detected by a video camera is reflected in cursor motion on a PC screen and whether each of the right and left pupils are detected or not is reflected in the push states of the corresponding buttons of a two button mouse. Accordingly, users can move the cursor on the PC screen by head rotation, and can click by closing their single eye. If they rotate their head while closing one eye, they can drag.
