Replacement of the Standard Computer Keyboard and Mouse by Eye Blinks

摘要

In this work, a system is presented, replacing the standard computer keyboard and mouse with a headband carrying piezoelectric sensors. The novel system allows the user to enter text and select on-screen objects (mouse function) by just using eye blinks. It has been tested by one disable and five able-bodied volunteers. Combined they have shown an average typing speed of 9.1 characters per minutes (CPM).
