Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a mouse emulator system for cervical spinal-cord injured PC user. In this system, a laser illuminated point on a liquid crystal display is detected with image processing software developed for this system and the mouse cursor moves the detected point. The evaluation results indicate that the proposed method is comfortable for cervical spinal-cord injured PC user to operate GUI windows system.
