The advancements in technology have led to the development of hands-free computing, which has gained tremendous demand in recent times.This innovation addresses the needs of quadriplegics and those who have difficulties using their hands.Our proposed system is an eye-based interface that acts as a computer mouse and translates eye movements such as blinking, gazing, and squinting into mouse cursor actions.It requires no external hardware or sensors and can be used with a simple webcam and software such as Python, OpenCV, and NumPy.The face detector of the system is built using the HOG feature, a linear classifier, and the sliding window technique.The use of the eye-based interface can provide a new level of control and independence to people who are unable to use their hands due to various reasons, making everyday tasks much easier.Additionally, it can be used by individuals who have temporary hand injuries to continue using computers without any hindrance.In conclusion, our proposed system has significant potential to improve the quality of life for individuals who are unable to use their hands.It offers an innovative solution that allows for hands-free computing and has immense potential for future advancements.The development of this eye-based interface is a remarkable achievement in the field of computing, and we hope it can be used to help people with disabilities gain greater independence and control over their daily lives.
