Abstract
[Abstract]: If a person with a disability is to have access to a computer, alternatives to the standard mouse and computer keyboard must be developed. The BrowsMouse is a computer mouse that can be controlled with movement of the eyebrows. The headpiece comprises some electronics and infra-red light emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted discretely on a pair of spectacles. Using infra-red light, the position of the eyebrows is measured. These measurements are then amplified, digitally sampled and transmitted to the PC either as standard mouse commands or as sampled data, to be further interpreted by the Pc. The hardware and software algorithms used for the BrowsMouse are described, as well as the results from initial testing.
