Eye Ball Movement to Control Computer Screen

Abstract

Ramesh R* and Rishikesh M

The aim of this paper is to present a system for controlling the cursor position in a computer by human eye movements. Many modules have been developed to help the physical world interact with the digital world. Here we present a novel approach for Human Computer Interaction (HCI) where, we control cursor movement using a real time camera and color pointers. Our method is to use a camera and computer vision technology, such as image segmentation, background subtraction and color tracking, to control mouse tasks and we show how it can perform everything as current mouse devices can. A color pointer has been used for the object recognition and tracking, so as to implement the module without any physical contact with the system. The application has been created on matlab environment with operating system as windows 8.1. This method mainly focuses on the use of a web camera to develop a virtual human computer interaction device in a cost effective manner presents hands free interface between computer and human especially for physically disabled persons.
