3. 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.

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

5. Block Diagram of i-Mouse

6. 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

7. Existing System
The Headmaster User The EagleEyes User
Facial Mouse Depiction

8. 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

10. Architectural Design
Two 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.

13. 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.

14. Future Scope
• Need for the System
• Identification of product project
• Identification of project deliverables
– External deliverables
– Internal deliverables
